Subject: Re: [lsb-discuss] How to determine whether the application
developed onLinux is LSB Compliant?

The first place to start is to download lsbappchk:

http://www.linuxbase.org/download/index.php/test_suites

Note that unless you use the LSB build tools, you will at least get an
error about the LSB linker, and you may get some about the wrong
versions of functions being used. It is however a good first pass to
check how close a binary is to being compliant.

----- My reply:
I downloaded libappchk test suite binary rpm. While installing it on Red
Hat Linux AS 3.0, I got the error message:
lsb-core-i386 >= 2.0 is needed by lsb-appchk-2.0.1

I installed LSB build environment, the rpms:
lsb-build-base-2.0.0-1.i486.rpm, lsb-build-c++-2.0.0-1.i486.rpm, and
lsb-build-cc-2.0.0-1.i486.rpm.

Where the lsb-core-i386 pacakge can be found?

Thanks,
Ganesh
