Subject event init failure
Author Nick Upson
within a program on linux (fedora core 5) I have this line:

EXEC SQL EVENT INIT ALERT_WAIT ('myevent');

trying to run the compilied program on a different machine (fc 8), I get

operating system directive open failed - permission denied

by this point in the program it has already connected and selected
data from the database so what permissions is it complaining about?

It runs fine on the same machine it was compiled on.
