The Native POSIX Thread Library gizmo they included broke quite a few older binary apps (including the antiquated MicroFocus COBOL Runtimes we use - don't ask, I'd love to see them go away). Backward compatability can be obtained by passing "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5" before calling the application. But in general, yes, it broke stuff. While it was intended to be binary compatible with other stuff, some other apps weren't written properly to move forward in this fashion. See Phoebe's release notes. (mirror page) http://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/beta/phoebe/en/os/i386/RELEASE-NOTES I guess that's a good enough reason to go to 9.0 - but I truly hope they do something about the RHCE policy in light of this. -Rick -- Rick Johnson, RHCE #807302311706007 - [email protected] Linux/Network Administrator - Medata, Inc.
