[Monetdb-developers] (no subject)
Hi, I had some problems installing MonetDB-4.8.0 on MS Windows XP: the Duesseldorf sourceforge mirror still serves the installer that misses the pqueue stuff. Removing the wrong version via the Add or Remove Programs left a filled folder CWI in the Program Files folder and also a filled folder in my home folder's Application Data folder called MonetDB. Only after removing these and using the installer from the Paris sourceforge mirror I was freed from a lot of strange messages. All in all, the installer should have its version number upped, I think. Hopefully this will lead to up-to-date mirrors. Also, the installer should notify the user of the old files and folders, giving the choice of backing those up, or overwrite them, or whatever seems best. ===================================================================== Choosing MonetDB SQL Server and MonetDB SQL Client from the Start Menu: # Monet Database Server V4.8.0 # Copyright (c) 1993-2005, CWI.

If a change fixes a problem which everyone suffers from, the version number *should* be bumped. *I* agree with you that this *should* have been the case for this situation.

I have this fixed in the current branch. It works for me now. Some nasty regression bug, unfortunately. It would be great if you would report this kind of things as a bug next time, then it draws more attention to us, and what kind of report this is.
If you need to have more info, I'll be happy to try to get it for you... ======================================================================= I don't know whether MonetDB.conf in CWI\MonetDB\etc is used, but it contains the following lines:
# Where MonetDB is installed prefix=C:\Documents and Settings\sjoerd\My Documents\src\MonetDB\NT exec_prefix=C:\Documents and Settings\sjoerd\My Documents\src\MonetDB\NT
which is not right on my system, of course.
Could you report this as a separate bug please? That would be easier for us to deal with. Best regards, Fabian
