Инетересует существуют ли опыты успешной установки. Офицально IBM не сертифицировало 9. У меня тоже не получилось установить. Говорят что это из за какой то системы управлениями потоками (тредами) которая в 9ке сильно отличается от других дистрибутивов. Возможно кто то сталкивался с чем то в таком роде
Red Hat Linux 9 includes the Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL), a new
implementation of POSIX threads for Linux. This library provides
performance improvements and increased scalability for i686 or better
processors.
This thread library is designed to be binary compatible with the old
LinuxThreads implementation; however, applications that rely on the
places where the LinuxThreads implementation deviates from the POSIX
standard will need to be fixed. Notable differences include:
- Signal handling has changed from per-thread signal handling to POSIX
process signal handling.
- getpid() returns the same value in all threads.
- Thread handlers registered with pthread_atfork are not run if vfork()
is used - no manager thread
Applications that are known to have problems using NPTL include:
- Sun JRE prior to version 1.4.1
- IBM JRE
If an application does not work properly with NPTL, it can be run using
the old LinuxThreads implementation by setting the following environment
variable:
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=<kernel-version>
The following versions are available:
- 2.4.1 - Linuxthreads with floating stacks
- 2.2.5 - Linuxthreads without floating stacks
NPTL support for all dynamically-linked applications can be disabled
by using the following boot-time option:
nosysinfo
Implication of this fact is that GUI install will fail with segmentation
fault in Java JRE. Workaround is to use either silent install with
response file (bypassing Java component) or character based install and
manually creating instance(s).
Implication of the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=... workaround is that DB2 probably
wouldn't work in SMP environment.
After installation with the above mentioned workarounds - all Java based
tools (CC and it's relatives) - are disffunctional.
Before you bombard me with hate mail stating that it is not supported -
please understand that I am just sending it as FYI - in case you will
encounter adventurous customers.
