Unless you can get a newer version of the software which uses NPTL, you can't run it with FC5. You might be able to run the software with VMware, Xen, or a chroot to an FC4 or earlier environment. There is a useful page, http://people.redhat.com/drepper/assumekernel.html, which talks about LD_ASSUME_KERNEL and the different values and what they mean. - Ian
