problem with setarch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I found the advice (here on the list, and on Dag's excellent
compatibility tweaks page) to use the option -L to setarch in order to
run a program that depends on a legacy virtual address layout.
On FC3, this indeed solves the problem I was experiencing, but
unfortunately, the version of setarch on FC2 (setarch-1.4-1.i386.rpm)
doesn't have the -L option.

On a test machine, I upgraded to setarch-1.6-1 from FC3 and that seems
to work, but I am a bit affraid to run this in a production
environment. After all, it is something which changes the behaviour of
the operating system at a low level, and for mere mortals like myself,
that is not something to upgrade lightly from a non-standard channel.

I entered a request for enhancement in bugzilla,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=141622

Comments and suggestions welcome...
