In most Linux environments, forms compiling can only be done via command line (without the use of Forms Builder or Forms Compiler). When trying to compile modules using frmcmp_batch.sh and you receive the following error:
“FRM-91500: Unable to start/complete the build”
Some environment variables will need to be set in the shell environment or bash profile:
- ORACLE_TERM must be set to vt220
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH (found in default.env) must be set
- LD_PRELOAD (found in default.env) must be set
- PATH must have $ORACLE_HOME/bin included NOTE: The $ORACLE_HOME directory should be written out in full
- TERM should be set to either ‘xterm’ or ‘vt220’
- ORACLE_INSTANCE (found in default.env) should be set
- ORACLE_HOME (found in default.env) should be set
NOTE: You should also have FORMS_PATH set in the shell unless it is set in a compile script you run to compile.
After the environment variables are set (in the shell if you plan to use a compile command or in a compile script you wish to run to compile), you should be able to compile modules.
NOTE: Make sure you are compiling with “frmcmp_batch.sh”. If you use “frmcmp”, you will need an X Window such as VNC running as well as to set the DISPLAY variable to the VNC listen address!
