Receiving Error 13 While Running InfoExplorer

Environment

OS Level: AIX 3.2.5

Problem

You receive Error 13 while running InfoExplorer.

Solution

• Ensure that the /usr/lpp/info/bin directory has read and execute permissions on all of the files in that directory. To do this, as root user, enter chmod 755 * in the /usr/lpp/info/bin directory.

• If your home directory is in afs, ensure that the ACLs for your home directory and the info subdirectory have r and l permissions for system:anyuser. To set the permissions, enter fs sa . system:anyuser read in the home and info directories.

• The $HOME/info/.infolib file may have been corrupted. Delete it and InfoExplorer will recreate it next time it is started.

• If removing infolib does not solve the problem, rename the $HOME/info directory to something else and restart InfoExplorer.
