i get the following error after installing MonetDB from CVS (tip) and running monetdb/d.
I assume you mean Mercurial here.
$ monetdbd cannot open config file (null) unable to retrieve startup status
$ monetdb cannot open config file (null)
As opposed to the previous version i had (a version of CVS during November), now there is no /etc subdirectory inside the MonetDB installation directory, where the configuration files lie. I also searched for any configuration files inside the build directory, in case sth had gone wrong during installation, but nothing has been generated.
I also noticed that the installation procedure when compiling from CVS has been changed. Do i miss something? I just run bootstrap, configure, make, and last make install. One last remark: in the manpage of monetdbd (and monetdb), the configuration file in question is referenced as @MONETDB5_CONFFILE@. Shouldn't had been mapped to a filename?
I'm sorry. This indeed got (and still is) broken in the default branch. You probably better use the Mar2011 branch, where this isn't broken, until I can finalise a huge cleanup and change process, which broke monetdb(d) for the moment.
