[Antelope] schema compilation(?) problem on 4.9/PowerPC

[Phil Cummins]

Hi,

I am using Antelope 4.9 on a PowerPC Macintosh Powerbook. Antelope_update
says that all patches are up-to-date (granted, this isn't saying much).

I am developing a script and running it on a test database I created some
time ago from an IRIS volume using seed2db. I have used this database many
times with no problem. I have also tried recreating the database, again
using seed2db. Now I find that, whenever I access the wfdisc table, even
using dbe, I get the following error:

% dbe smtra_2007
/opt/antelope/4.9/bin/dbe: formats differ: '%-15s' != '%-15'
/opt/antelope/4.9/bin/dbe: conflicting Attribute model in schema css3.0
/opt/antelope/4.9/bin/dbe: db : bad attribute at ';' while compiling
attribute 'model' near line #60 of
/opt/antelope/4.9/data/schemas/css3.0.ext/dlsite

/opt/antelope/4.9/bin/dbe: failed to compile database extension
/opt/antelope/4.9/data/schemas/css3.0.ext/qctests

This is baffling to me. The files in $ANTELOPE/data/schemas/css3.0ext seem
to say, e.g., '%-15s', as i think they should. What is antelope comparing to
that thinks the format should be '%-15'? Although dbe seems to actually work
OK, my script seems to end up with a bad dbpointer when I look up the wfdisc
table. And, this is happening with at least one other database that I used
to access with no problem. Could one of Antelope's data files been
corrupted, and if so, is there any way for me to tell which one?

Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

- Phil
