OK well aside from this issue, has anyone got FDS running on RHEL 2.1?
I guess nobody has... well in any case I've downloaded the dsbuild 1.0.3 tarball and attempted to do a build on RHEL ES 2.1. Not surprisingly, it fails. Can anyone shed some light on these error messages? I started the build with make BUILD_RPM=1 NOJAVA=1 SNMP_SOURCE=1
I'm not sure, but it looks like a glibc compatability issue. You might have to install some sort of gcc or glibc compat package. On the other hand, it may require a newer version of gcc/glibc than AS 2.1 has.
Most of the errors suggest it is looking for GLIBC 2.0 and 2.1 procedures, while the system has GLIBC 2.2.4 installed. I installed the compat-glibc package which has 2.1 but including this in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH first causes make to bail out because it requires 2.2 and apparently it gives up at the first libc file it examines.
Maybe there is a compat-make?
If there is no way around this particular thing, perhaps your suggestion of using a later version of GLIBC will be the answer. Is there an easy way to signal dsbuild to statically link GLIBC or will it require editing a lot of files?
I have no idea. This is highly not-recommended to do.
