I have an older version of the realmedia streaming player that is
presently running on mandrake 7.1. Its dynamic library
configuration on the 7.1 box looks like this:
# ldd rmserver
rmserver:
libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x40010000)
libc.so.5 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5 (0x40013000)
I need to move this software to an 8.2 server. With a little google
searching I found and installed the following packages from the
mandrake web site.
ld.so1-1.9.11-9mdk.i586.rpm
libc-base-5.3.12-37mdk.i586.rpm
libc-extras-5.3.12-37mdk.i586.rpm
After installing the above, this is the dynamic library
configuration on the 8.2 box for 'rmserver'. Oddly enough,
libc.so.6 and ld-linux.so.2 now show up in the configuration.
#ldd rmserver
rmserver:
libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x4000f000)
libc.so.5 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5 (0x40012000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400db000)
ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40217000)
When I try to start 'rmserver' on 8.2, it immediately segfaults and
dumps core. gdb on the core file shows this:
---------------------------------------------------------
Core was generated by `./Bin/rmserver rmserver.cfg'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

---------------------------------------------------------
So, there is no stack trace to even give a clue as to where it might
be faulting.
As a comparison to the 'rmserver', there is another program in the
realserver distribution, 'rssm', that does run after installing the
libc 5 compatibility libraries. Its dynamic library configuration
looks like this; the libc 6 stuff is not referenced.
# ldd rssm
libg++.so.27 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libg++.so.27 (0x4000f000)
libstdc++.so.27 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libstdc++.so.27 (0x40047000)
libm.so.5 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libm.so.5 (0x40079000)
libc.so.5 => /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libc.so.5 (0x40081000)
So, is the rmserver recoverable, or is there no hope of running it
on 8.2? Any insight is appreciated, and thanks in advance.
