Alaric,
I haven't seen the problem with setld, so I'm not sure what's wrong.
I'm sure you've thought of the following things to look at, but what
the heck...
1) Make sure your running as root (e.g. using su - )
2) Check to be sure that the inventory files exist and are readable.
They're kept in /usr/.smdb.
for example,
ls -l /usr/.smdb./DFA*
[...]
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 142 Mar 13 17:02 /usr/.smdb./DFACOM360.ctrl
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 10869 Mar 13 17:02 /usr/.smdb./DFACOM360.inv
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 0 Mar 13 17:04 /usr/.smdb./DFACOM360.lk
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 10868 Mar 13 17:02 /usr/.smdb./DFACOM360.scp
[...]
I hope this helps a little.
Selden

See if /usr/ucb/getopt is on the system. Also check that
/usr/ucb in your/root's path. I would take the message:
/usr/sbin/setld: getopt: not found
at its word...

It looks like you need to add "/usr/bin" to your path.
"setld" is actually a bourne shell script and is calling /usr/bin/getopt.
hope that helps.

setld cant find 'getopt' - for me, it's in /usr/bin - do you have a
/usr/bin/getopt? It should be in OSFBASE200.
You may also be interested in the following script - its a front end
to setld, which does some of the tasks (eg -i) itself, and passes the
rest to real setld. Why? Because it's _faster_ :) I got really really
fed up with waiting for 20 - 30 seconds to get a listing of subsets...
"setld -i" is dog slow - this runs 4 to 5 times faster. Usual no warranties,
&c. Works for me on OSF/1 2.0, 3.0, and Ultrix 4.2A.
Note that it uses python - which can be found in ftp.cwi.nl:/pub/python

Hi !
And you do have the getopt command in /usr/bin ? and it is in root's path
??

^^^^^^
getopt is a shell command that should reside in /bin, /usr/bin, or
/usr/ucb. Since it isn't found by the setld script then it must be
missing from your system.. Which implies that either someone has
deleted it, or moved it to a place that is not in the path for setld,
or that your original installation was not correct.
You could fix it by finding where getopt is on your system, if it is
still there, or find an alpha binary for it somewhere, or find a site
with the soruces for it an compile it.
Fergal.

Dear Ric:
Without going into great detail about what you did or didn't do, I can
tell you that I simply nfs mount the LP CDROM on the machine I want to
install to and setld -i works just fine. There is also an option to do
this using RIS. Just about any product installation guide outlines how
to do this. In brief, you have to install the kit on the RIS server area
and you have to register your system as an RIS client. Then as su and in
from / enter: setld -l remote_host: and you get a menu. I think that
the first option is simpler.
Hope this helps.
