hmmm... a little over my head, but I am keeping up.. :D CFMX uses the InstallAnywhere intstaller - which is supposed to be java based. With that in mind, why would the version of gcc matter? Or maybe I'm wrong - I'll dig into InstallAnywhere tonight though and learn more. I've heard references before about setting up sym links to get CF running on non-Red Hat boxes, so this is likely the correct approach. <sighs> so much work to get to a stable platform (for CF that is - the Gentoo server is more stable than my RH server ever was).
Thanks for the tips. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Anderson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 10:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: (clug-talk) CFMX on Gentoo Linux? I'm sure your Gentoo Box will be running a different version of gcc & glibc than RH 7.x, and personally, I suspect you'll find the errors will be a result of that. Also, Gentoo's file system layout is much different than RHs, so you'll need a lot of Symlinks, at least... For example, if I "locate libc.so.6", on Gentoo, I find /lib/libc.so.6 but on RH, I find /lib/libc.so.6 but I also find /lib/i686/libc.so.6 and /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/libc.so.6 and /var/ftp/lib/libc.so.6. You won't need al of these copies, but you'll need to figure out which one CF wants to use, and create a symlink for it. I also see that the version of Glibc that I'm running is alot of versions different than the one on RH.
