1.7 Installing the LibC Files on a NetWare Server

To load and run LibC on your NetWare server, load the new libraries on one of the following versions of NetWare:

These are the minimum requirements for the NetWare server to run with the newest version of LibC.If you try using an older version of the server, you can create a server that cannot boot. If possible, you should always update to the latest available support pack when installing an NDK version of LibC onto a test server.

These steps assume that you installed server.exe in the c:\nwserver directory on your NetWare server and the LibC SDK in the c:\novell\ndk\libc directory on your development workstation.

IMPORTANT:You should use these instructions to install LibC on a test server. You should not use them to install LibC on a production server. You should use support packs to install a newer version of LibC on production servers.

To install LibC on your test server:

  1. Create a subdirectory named save in the c:\nwserver directory.

  2. Copy the following LibC files in the c:\nwserver directory to the c:\nwserver\save directory:

    • libc.nlm
    • libcclib.nlm

  3. Copy the following LibC files from the c:\novell\ndk\libc\lib directory to the c:\nwserver directory on your server:

    • libc.nlm
    • libcclib.nlm

    NOTE:If you want to use the debug version LibC for testing, copy the files from the c:\novell\ndk\libc\lib\debug directory to your test server.

  4. Copy the following message files from the c:\novell\ndk\libc\lib directory to the c:\nwserver\nls\4 directory on your server.

    • libc.msg
    • libcclib.msg

  5. Copy the files in the c:\novell\ndk\libc\tables directory to the c:\nwserver\nls directory on your server.

  6. Reboot the server.
