CSDK 3.70 install on Ubuntu installation error, anyone?

[Malc]

Before I go banging my head on a brick wall, Mike Aubury has kindly
reminded me that you folks may be able to help here!
IDS11.70 developer edition on Ubuntu 11.04

I downloaded the Linux installation of CSDK 3.70UD3 and went to
install it on a known good installation of IDS11.70 and I get the
following. Any clues anyone? Is this a Locale issue?
Thanks

Hmmm. I uninstalled the CSDK V3.70UC3DE, tried CSDK V3.70UC3 with the same results so junked it and installed V3.50UD8 which installed correctly.

I know its too late to reply but hopefully this'll help someone else who stumbles upon this error.

Reference: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v117/topic/com.ibm.relnotes.doc/notes/ifx_1170xc8/ids_unix_relnotes_11.70.html

you need to unset any variable with escapes for LaunchAnywhere to work correctly.
This applies to Windows users as well.

Mostly you can find \\ characters in PS1 and PS2 vars. so if you do

``export PS1=$ PS2=``
or something like
``unset PS2``

ids_install should work.

cheers.
