George, et al: I have an old intel pentium pro server that i am converting to Linux. Once i get it going and have learner enough to be dangerous on the is OS I wan to add the prime search tools. Question is what version do i download. What is the difference between Mprime & Sprime? The support web page tends to mix the OS and the architecture. SO for UNIX on SUN go one place for Intel go another place. So this is Intel (Compaq 5000 quad 200mhz pentium pro) and RedHat Linux.
mprime and sprime are the same program just linked differently. Try mprime
first. It uses less runtime memory (shares the C runtime library with other
running programs). If that fails (I linked to one version of the C runtime
libraries, but you have an incompatible set of runtime libraries installed), then
try sprime.
Regards, George
