Dear Henk, there is no "special" reason, but a "good" reason for not having i686 Redhat RPM's any more: we can only provide RPM's for those platform that we do own our selfs and that we do have access to ;-) We have all our i686 machines running Fedora Core 3, now, (which for us is everything but a "hobby OS" --- we decided to spend our budget on those "toys" that are not available for free ;-)); hence, we cannot make any i686 RHEL RPM's any more. Sorry. ( The only RHEL machine that we still have is an Itanium (IA64); and our Opterons (AMD64) run Fedore Core 2 or Debian 3.0. For a detailed list of supported platforms, please see the MonetDB web site at http://monetdb.cwi.nl/Development/TestWeb/Platforms/ ) If you require a i686 RHEL RPM's there are three solutions: (1) Download the source tar-ball and run configure make make dist make rpm (2) Download the SRPM --- which we will provide soon (i.e., later today; so far there has not been any request for it) --- and built the binary RPM. (3) Provide us with (access to) a machine running your favorite OS. Then, we can add it to our nightly testing suite to have the RPM's built automatically. Kind Regards, and thank you very much for using MonetDB. Stefan
Hi,
Is there a special reason there are no i686 RPM's anymore like there were until 4.6.0_rc2?
I think it's a bit weird there are RPM's for the hobby OS 'FedoraCore' but not for the much used server OS 'RedHat Enterprise 3 (and 4)'?
The FedoraCore (which Core?) needs libstdc++.so.6 whereas RHEL 3 only has libstdc++.so.5 ... There also seems to be no SRPM's.
