In Response To: RE: Red Hat 8.0 (Brian Pang)

See Sandor's email from less than a week ago...below


We have run into an serious rpm bug on RedHat 8.
rpm is ignoring the relocate option and the built-in environment variable
$RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX is not set during install.

This problem is already logged into Bugzilla under 75550 and 75057

The only workaround we can suggest currently is:

1. export RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/informix
2. export INFORMIXDIR=/opt/informix
3. install without any relocation.

or you can use the rpm2cpio command


After installation you have to do the known changes as in RedHat 7.3 (
delete pthread library, install ncurses4 package)

Thanks
Sandor
