    • Product: Aleph
    • Product Version: 20, 21, 22, 23
    • Relevant for Installation Type: Dedicated-Direct, Direct, Local, Total Care

     

    Description

    When dlib-ing to a library the message "prof_library: No such file or directory" appears. Or
    when running a batch job, the following messages appear:
      No xxxnn prof_library 
      Param Initialization Failure, Exiting !!!

    <where "xxxnn" is a library, such as usm50>.

    Resolution

    These messages indicate one of two things....

    1. If the library isn't in the results you see when you do "echo $aleph_libs" on the Unix command line, that means that the library is not included in the  

           setenv    ALEPH_LIBS    ...

    line in aleph_start or aleph_start.private.  It must be.

    2. The ./xxxnn/prof_library file has been deleted or never existed.   If there's a similar library of the same type (xxx01, xxx30, xxx50, etc.), then copy its ./prof_library and modify it to the values appropriate for this missing xxxnn library.
