=Adaptive Server Enterprice (ASE)=


Always configure more shared-memory before starting srvbuild(res). For example:
 [root@saito]# echo 335544320 > /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
 [sybase@saito]$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax 
 335544320

To make this permanent after reboot's, append to /etc/sysctl.conf
Debian/Ubuntu:
 ############# Sys-V shared mem:
 #/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
 kernel/shmmax=335544320
Redhat/CentOS:
 ############# Sys-V shared mem:
 #/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
 kernel.shmmax = 335544320

==Version 12.5.x (x86-32)==
Used version 12.5.3-ebf12339

===Redhat EL-Linux-4.0===
Also known as CentOS-4.0 or XosLinux-4.0
===Fedora Core-5===
First tests seemed problematic because of the new libc version of core5
===Debian 3.1 (sarge)===
===Ubuntu 6.06(dapper)===
Expect test-results here in a few days.

===Redhat EL-Linux-4.0===
====Redhat x86-32 version====
====Redhat x86-64 version====
works out of the box, when you choose a server install and also select the compat-packages.
Because of the mixed-library (32 and 64 bits) architecture of this distro, there are no problems with the 32-bit sybase binaries.

works out of the box. Just give the box some extra System-V shared memory before starting srvbuild(res).

====Ubuntu x86-64 version====
Does not work at all. This is probably because the Ubuntu/Debian distribution is a pure-64 distribution. The 32-bit library's are not there at all.

It looks like this:
