Problem:

Platforms: x86 and zSeries

Resolution:

Server Express 5.0 can run on SuSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 as long as the following change is made:

The $COBDIR/etc/cobopt files need updating to point to the correct compiler object files.

The following is an example of the changes needed:

On the x86 platform:

  Original product cobopt file:

        set GCC_LIB=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-suse-linux/3.3.3

  Updated cobopt file:

        set GCC_LIB=/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.0

On the zSeries platform:

  Original product cobopt file:

        set GCC_LIB=/usr/lib64/gcc-lib/s390x-suse-linux/3.3.3/32

  Updated cobopt file:

        set GCC_LIB=/usr/lib64/gcc/s390x-suse-linux/4.1.0/32

Without these changes the Server Express product cannot compile correctly.

This change will be automated in an upcoming product update, but doing this manually now will allow the Server Express 5.0 product to run on SLES 10 immediately.
