I'm trying to install IDS 9.40 on limited LINUX Kernel 2.4.22 for an embedded system without rpm and other install tools. I copy the files from another server using tar, but something is not working.

Jairo, Most Linux flavor's, except Suse and RedHat, come with GLIBC which is not compatible with IDS 9.40 and 10.0. The best option is to replace GLIBC with one from RedHat. -Alexey -----Original Message----- From: ids-bounces@iiug.org [mailto:ids-bounces@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Jairo Gubler Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 8:25 AM To: ids@iiug.org Subject: INFORMIX 9.40 LINUX [7364] I'm trying to install IDS 9.40 on limited LINUX Kernel 2.4.22 for an embedded system without rpm and other install tools.
