Article #25883: Error: Cannot find iserver.nlm when loading iserver on Novell 5

Problem:
This problem applies to version 5.6 for Novell Netware.


After installing the InterBase software on the Netware server, and then issue the command "load iserver" 
at the console and it returns error "cannot find iserver.nlm".

Solution:
This error happens when the load command cannot find the iserver.nlm.  
By default and according to Novell's knowledgebase, the load command will look for the nlms in 
sys:system directory.  Check the following possible causes of this error:

1.  Make sure that root(installing user) has write permission to sys:system when installing InterBase.  

2.  Check and see if iserver.nlm and ib_licen.nlm are in sys:system.  If not choose one of the 
following choices:
	a.  Move copies of iserver.nlm and ib_licen.nlm to sys:system.  or
	b.  Add the search path for the load to include the location of the iserver.nlm and 
ib_licen.nlm.  You can accomplish this with the command 'search'.  For example, assuming iserver.nlm and 
ib-licen.nlm are in sys:interbas directory.  To include the search path to find these files, one would 
do this at the command console:

	search add sys:interbas
