In Response To: Re: Red Hat 8.0 (Sandor Szabo)

Hi Guys,

I am trying to install ids 9.30UC2 on RH 8, but the "--relocate" option of
rpm does not work. I am getting the "INFORMIXDIR" does not match the target
directory error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Brian

Hi Ronald,
If the pthread library is picked up from /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 then you
can use it without any problems. The change we had to do is NOT
necessary any more with the new libpthread version, so in the future (In
the version 9.4 ) we will NOT ship this library any more.
Thanks
Sandor

To get IDS-9.30UC2 running on RHL8.0, I had to install the
ncurses4-5.0-9 rpm from disc 2 and move /var/lib/libpthread.so.0 to
/var/lib/libpthread.so.0.021010 to get the engine initialized. But
moving /var/lib/libpthread.so.0 just makes IDS use Red Hat's
/lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 instead. Various users have reported that
this workaround seemed to perform for them without issue. I examined
IDS's dynamic executables and it looks to me like the libpthread.so is
involved in the "Java in the server" bits. Has anybody actually
tested the "workaround" with any "Java in the server" code that uses
threads to see if it's really a good workaround?

Here's my list of IDS dynamic executables that reference libpthread.so.0:

/opt/informix/bin/onbar_d
