RE: Binary compatibility on IA64 RHEL4.0

Hmmm, I just ran into a RHEL4 system (exact vintage unknown, I didn't
install this one) that was failing to run x86 binaries, yet ia32-el was
installed and /etc/init.d/ia32el status said it was running).

The problem on that machine was a missing /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ... making
that a symlink to /emul/ia32-linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2 fixed the problem.

Some compatability issue with an old version of the ia32-el rpm?
