Version 11.0.x (x86-32)

When used with a recent Linux-distro, use the faq on the link below to allocate more than 128M memory. http://www.peppler.org/FAQ/linux.html#q1.22

Version 12.5.x (x86-32)

Used version 12.5.3-ebf12339

Redhat EL-Linux-4.0

(CentOS-4.x and Xos-Linux-4 use binaries similar to Redhat EL-Linux-4 )

Fedora Core-5

This release of the RedHat development-line is based on NPTL (The Native POSIX Threading Library) that has replaced Linux Threads completely.

Debian-4.0 (etch)

Add the extra package: 

apt-get install libaio.1

And manually: 

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-2.95/libstdc%2B%2B2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27_i386.deb
dpkg -i libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27_i386.deb

Ubuntu-6.06 LTS (dapper)

Like Debian-4.0 

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-2.95/libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-24_i386.deb
dpkg -i libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-24_i386.deb

Ubuntu-7.10 (gutsy)

Not working...

Version 15.0.x (x86-32)

Used version 15.0.0-ebf13194

Redhat EL-Linux-4.0

Redhat x86-32 version

For a compact install choose "server install". Some might also select the X-server binaries, but for a real server this is of not much extra use. After everything is running, instal the rpm's from the CDrom in /cdrom/CentOS/RPMS below: 

compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.i386.rpm
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.i386.rpm

Some caveat's: Without the compat-rpm's, dataserver does not work. 

[sybase@avondster ~]$ dataserver -v
dataserver: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is the problem:

Debian 3.1 (sarge)

Ubuntu 6.06(dapper)

Ubuntu x86-32 version

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

Debian 4.0 (etch)

Tested with 15.0.2. Install the extra packages: 

apt-get install  libaio.1  libstdc++5
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcc-2.95/libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27_i386.deb
dpkg -i libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2_2.95.4-27_i386.deb

Version 15.0.x (x86-64)

Sybase has now also released a 64 bit version for this distro.

You can access get a copy here http://www.sybase.com/linuxpromo.

Redhat EL-Linux-4.0

Redhat x86-64 version

works out of the box, when you choose a server install and also select the compat-packages. 

[sybase@avondster ~]$ rpm -qa|grep compat
compat-openldap-2.1.30-4
compat-db-4.1.25-9
compat-libgcc-296-2.96-132.7.2
compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3
compat-libcom_err-1.0-5

Because of the mixed-library (32 and 64 bits) architecture of this distro, there are no problems with the 32-bit sybase binaries.
