Blair,

   This is what I did so far.

  1. stop_orcallator

  2. start_orcalltor
./orcallator_running

3. Now in /opt/orca/var/orca/orcallator
./orcallator_running: okieland/percol-2001-10-07 does not exist

Keep in mind that I'm so frustrated that I removed everything from the
2.6 version and re-installed.
I had to manually do a touch orca.state to get orcallator up but still
keep running into this problem.

This is what OS I'm running which is 2.8
uname -a
SunOS okieland 5.8 Generic_108529-10 i86pc i386 i86pc


#more /etc/release
                       Solaris 8 10/00 s28x_u2wos_11 INTEL

Now any further suggestion would be appreciated.
