Hello I was able to get older linux binaries to work by install the following rpms from the Red Hat 6.1 distribution:
ld.so-1.9.5-13.i386.rpm libc-5.3.12-31.i386.rpm I did this by: # /usr/compat/linux/bin/bash # rpm -ivh ld.so-1.9.5-13.i386.rpm # rpm -ivh libc-5.3.12-31.i386.rpm Then you will need to add the library to the /usr/compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf file here are the directories listed in my file: /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib I do not know if this is the best method of getting the old libraries to work. It works for me, both Matlab R11 and WordPerfect 8 are working on my computer. On Sun, 2002-10-27 at 10:26, G.E.
