Pls Help: Cannot install IDS 7.30.UC7-1 on Fedora 8. Segmentation fault

Hello good people, SElinux is disabled. After IDS rpm install: cd /opt/informix ./installserver #after entering the licence key produces the following error: etc/install: line 197: 4956 Segmentation fault $BRAND -n -s $SERNUM $KEY $NAM Installation of Informix Dynamic Server failed. Looks like FC8 does not like 7.30 binaries. Any solution? Please try to help. Thanks in advance. J Dubal.

Use a newer version of IDS? I can't guess how old that version is, but it likely existed in the previous millennium and should be retired by now. The trouble is likely changes in the C libraries. If you wanted to install an archaic set of C libraries that matched those in use when IDS 7.30.UC7 was released, you might be in with a chance. On average, it is probably better to upgrade, though - less likely to leave you bald from tearing your hair out. -- Jonathan Leffler #include <disclaimer.h> Email: jleffler@earthlink.net, jleffler@us.ibm.com Guardian of DBD::Informix v2007.0914 -- http://dbi.perl.org/ publictimestamp.org/ptb/PTB-1958 sha384 2007-12-06 06:00:04 605350F29123CB1CDA007CC97DB07010518D79C39A2121C716C36F233B10D9196D0494 84CC00E1ACA8630EDAE192F2C
