Re: [U2] UniData PE on Fedora 18
Thanks Bob. Sorry for the late reply - it has been one of those weeks for me :-( I have already switched to CentOS and after a bit of messing around (need to use legacy network drivers in Hyper-V) have it working. The only reason I had tried Fedora in the first place was because I read that UniData worked on Fedora and RedHat.

Re: [U2] UniData PE on Fedora 18
Thanks Tony. Sorry for the late reply - it has been one of those weeks for me :-( I did switch to CentOS and it was a bit of a struggle using it on Hyper-V (a little research got me going). I agree with you on stability and my plan is to actually set this up to be a local only environment where it won't need to be patched at all (can't access it except from the Hyper-V host). At this point, I'm just interested in keeping up with U2 since I've moved on to other technologies (still love UniData, just not enough opportunity in my area to work with it).

Re: [U2] UniData PE on Fedora 18
I was able to load it into centOS with no problems, sadly I don't use fedora/ubuntu or opensuse (centos is the open source version of redhat enterprise which is what I would recommend you use, IMHO) having said that my gut feeling is that the library is on the system in a location the system does not know about, so try this: 1. (as root) run find / -name libgdbm.so.2 2. if the system finds it next run ldconfig -p and see if the library shows up in the listing (it should not) 3. add the directory where the library lives to to /etc/ld.so.conf 4. run ldconfig try installing again and see if that fixes the issue dougc On 2/24/2013 2:39 PM, James Canale, Jr. wrote: I'm trying to install the latest UniData 7.3 Personal Edition on Fedora 18 (32 bit) and am not able to find the proper download that seems to be required.

Re: [U2] UniData PE on Fedora 18
As others have mentioned, you would probably be better off with CentOS as it is -essentially- the same source code as used for RHEL. Since we run our certification process on RHEL and Fedora's code is significantly different, so you'll have better chances of system stability on CentOS (disclaimer/reminder: We don't certify it will run on any Linux other than RHEL/SUSE).
