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.
