Please confirm the name of the missing library. I believe it may be libc.so.6 not .5.
Using the rpm command it can be determined which package should have installed a file. Try rpm --query --redhatprovides <filename> (ref 1). On a RHEL4 system, /lib/libc.so.6 is installed by the glibc-2.3.4 package, same as CentOS. I don't have my FC5 installation in front of me, but I believe it has a newer glibc version. Checking Fedora package list I see it has 2.4-11 (ref 2), and it does appear that 2.4-11 should have installed libc.so.6 (ref 3). You may want to confirm the missing library name, confirm the package which should have installed the library, and then install that package. On the topic of distributions, if you must run a distro which is unsupported by Red Hat and unsupported by ColdFusion, then I would recommend CentOS rather than Fedora. Even Red Hat will tell you this. CentOS is a legal clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux so Cent shares the same stability, reliability, and security as RHEL (ref 4). Fedora on the other hand is a bleeding edge distribution with the most bells and whistles and features which have not necessarily been tested to the extent that RHEL is tested. Since ColdFusion is supported for use on RHEL4, while you cannot open a support ticket with Adobe for support of CF on Cent, you can assume that CF will install and run the same, whereas results with Fedora will be in question. For the last 2 months I have been using ColdFusion MX 7 on CentOS (among other OSes), and have been very satisfied. -Steven Erat Adobe ColdFusion QA Refs *1 http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ch-command-reference.h tml *2 http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/1617 *3 http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedora/updates/5/x86_64/glibc-2.4-11.i386. html *4 http://linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/5823/1/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Jerky San Pedro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2006 4:38 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: CFMX 6.1 and FC5? > > Has anyone tried installing ColdFusion MX 6.1 on FC5?
