We use a proprietary piece of software called Exlibris Aleph (library
cataloging software) and it uses Oracle 9 for its database.
Unfortunately, Exlibris tells us they only support RH ES 2.1 because
thats what Oracle supports, and what Exlibris's code will compile
against. We originally tried RH9 and even after extensive modification
of their code, they couldn't get it all to compile correctly. Our
server with the large RAID array is this server, and the only server we
have with a large enough RAID array to temporrarilly hold the backups
while they are written to tape.

Hi, I know this list is for fedora, but I don't know of an enterprise
mail list, and I figured some of you out there may run ES 2.1 and could
help. I have a server I need to upgrade to kernel 2.6 for >2GB file
size for samba file support. I recompiled from redhat 9 source rpms the
required things, except binutils, procps, and modutils won't compile
with rpmbuild --rebuild, they all error out. So I thought maybe I could
just download the RH9 binary rpms and install them, but it errors
saying failed dependancies, libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) required. RedHat ES
2.1 comes with glibc 2.2.4, so I'm looking for some suggestions how to
upgrade these 3 packages so I can upgrade to kernel 2.6. any
suggestions? Thanks!
Adam,
Is there any particular reason why you cannot upgrade to RHEL/ES v3.0?
It's not as advanced as Fedora Core, but the difference isn't nearly so
large as with RHEL/ES v2.1. You'd still have to recompile stuff, but maybe
not as much.
