Hi all, I'm trying to get portmap to run for an installation of CDE. The CDE installation fails, saying portmap is required but not running. It's set up to run by default in /etc/rc.config After running strace on it I get this... strace /usr/sbin/portmap (extraneous crap deleted)

open("/usr/share/i18n/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(ptrace: umoven: I/O error 0x804ed38, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/share/locale/C/libc.cat", 0xbfffef70) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/share/locale/libc/C", 0xbfffef70) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/usr/local/share/locale/C/libc.cat", 0xbfffef70) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory

Why should I care about my locale for a system daemon? And better yet, how to fix?

Hi,

I never heard about any problems with portmap, sounds very strange to me.

Can you see portmap in the process list, tty 'ps ax | grep portmap' And what do you get if you try 'rpcinfo -p localhost'?

Ciao, BB --

Wierd, portmap is running now, (Dunno why, now after all). But when trying to install the TriTeal base, rpm gripes about needing portmap. Hmmm, Tri Teal issue I suppose. Although, I'll be damned if I understand why portmap is NOW running. Nothing has changed in a few days while trying to figure this puzzle out! Thanks, Bodo!
