Re: AW: AW: Status of FailSafe on RH7.2 with GLIBC 2.2.4

Vanilla RH 7.2, server build. Default RH compiler, Failsafe from
oss.sgi.com CVS. Rhino from the RPM downloads on oss.sgi.com. I've
installed the compat-libstdc++-6.2-2.9.0.16.i386 rpm and fam 2.6.4. When
building, I've created RPMs via "make rpm" as I would like to create a
reproducible recipe for creating Failsafe clusters.

I hadn't bothered with the RH updates this time as the system is torn
down and rebuilt fairly regularly, but it looks like that is going to be
necessary. I also get the impression that the RH server install misses
out quite a few development bits, so it would appear that my build
environment will have to be revised, installing everything. I can then
take the resulting Failsafe rpms and install them onto the pilot
cluster, which I'm trying to keep free of unnecessary software.

Either that of put the cluster management tools onto an RH 6.x system
=).
