Greetings:

I downloaded the OI for Linux demo directly into the /root partition and ran rpm as instructed at a command line from within GUI. (OS=RedHat 9 out-of-the-box standard install. Using default GUI=GNOME)

OI Installation went to completion without error. Then I went to boot OI, again at a command line from within GUI. It first displayed the Rev demo copyright which then cleared. And then the system locked-up, cursor still at command.

Any suggestions/observations?

Thanks

Jeff

Jeff,

We have been running into these problems with Red Hat 9 and OIL ourselves. Unfortunately, it is not an easy fix. We are working on it, though, but for now, OIL is not supported on Red Hat 9.0.

Once we have the problem solved and tested, we'll let the Revelation Community know that Red Hat 9.0 is approved.

Thanks,

Kevin

Kevin,

Does the same apply to Fedora as well?

Chris,

Yes.

Any suggestions/observations?

I believe I just figured out a way for Linux OI to run on Red Hat 9 and mostly likely on Fedora.

Define and export the following environmental variable:

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1

and then run oinsight. I do not have a Red Hat 9 or Fedora handy to try this out, but I am pretty sure it will work.

Assuming this does address it, I will add this environment variable to the oinsight script which launches OpenInsight in future releases.

Pat,

That does work. OIL will work on Red Hat 9.0 if you run the command "export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1"

Thanks for the imput,

Kevin
