I have been getting this error in clearcase trying to compile my
VC++ projects
fatal error C1033: cannot open program database
Some people have posted this problem on the NG but nobody has posted a
solution.
So it was frustrating for me trying to fix the problem but now I have
fixed the issue and I want to post in this NG so that someone else who
comes across this erros does not have to waste much time.
And here is the solution to the problem (pretty lame but i ended up
wasting
too much time).
In the clearcase home base, go to "administration".
In "administration" select "control panel"
In "control panel" select "MVFS"
In MVFS there is something called "case insensitive MVFS". In my
machine it was unchecked.
So it was generating those errors.
To fix the problem we have to check "case insensitive MVFS" option and
followed by checking the next option
"Case preserving"
(a new check box "case preserving" comes up when we check the "case
insensitive MVFS" option).
