1.7 Installing the CLib Files on a NetWare Server

Support packs for NetWare 5.1 and NetWare 6 install newer versions of CLib. However, the NDK often has a newer version than the current support pack. If you need to test with this newest version, complete the following steps to install the CLib files on a test server.

WARNING:NDK versions of CLib should never be used in a production environment. You should always use a support pack to install newer versions of CLib into a production environment.

The following instructions assume that you installed CLib SDK in the c:\Novell\ndk\nwsdk directory and that you installed server.exe into the c:\nwserver directory on your NetWare server.

To install the CLib files for NLMs:

  1. Back up the following files in the c:\nwserver directory:

    clib.nlm

    nit.nlm

    requestr.nlm

    lib0.nlm

    nlmlib.nlm

    threads.nlm

  2. Copy from the following files from the c:\novell\ndk\nwsdk\lib\nlm directory on your workstation to the c:\nwserver directory on your server:

    clib.nlm

    nit.nlm

    requestr.nlm

    lib0.nlm

    nlmlib.nlm

    threads.nlm

  3. (Optional) Copy the message files from the c:\novell\ndk\nwsdk\lib\ nlm\msg directory on your workstation to the c:\nwserver\nls\4 directory on your server.

    This is optional, because if you compare file dates, you'll discover these files are seldom updated.

  4. Reboot your server.
