Installing Sybase ASE 15 on Fedora Core 6

Usually, installing Sybase ASE is done in one step using the java installer. However, building the database fails in newer Linux systems (glibc configurations). To make it work a bit better, use the following environment variable:

export LD_POINTER_GUARD=0

However, setup will still fail, but don’t worry. Once the setup is done, do the following (still having the correct environment variable):

cd $SYBASE/ASE-15_0/ ## Eventually tune the configuration: # vi sqlsrv.res ./bin/srvbuildres -r sqlsrv.res

And then, you should be done.
