Fedora Linux 8

Virtually all Linux platforms provide strings by default. Fedora Core 8 platforms, however, are missing this required library. Typically, the strings package is provided by binutils, which can be installed on Fedora boxes using "yum install binutils".

Fedora Linux 8 will also require SELinux being completely disabled to even install UniCluster Express successfully.

RHEL 5 64-bit and CentOS 5 64-bit

Both of these platforms have a known library pre-linking issue which can cause these following UniCluster Express installation error:

 # An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
 #  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00002aaaaaab4112, pid=3639, tid=1075882304
 # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (1.6.0_03-b05 mixed mode)
 # Problematic frame:
 # C  [ld-linux-x86-64.so.2+0x9112]
 # An error report file with more information is saved as hs_err_pid3639.log
 # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
 #   http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp

To correct this error run: /usr/sbin/prelink -amR. Run the UniCluster Express uninstaller, then retry installation.

Ubuntu 7.1

Ubuntu platform is missing the required chkconfig utility. This can be installed by running these commands:

 $ apt-get install libnewt0.52
 $ ln -s /usr/lib/libnewt.so.0.52 /usr/lib/libnewt.so.0.50
 $ sudo wget
   http://www.tuxx-home.at/projects/chkconfig-for-debian/chkconfig_1.2.24d-1_i386.deb
 $ sudo dpkg --force-all -i chkconfig_1.2.24d-1_i386.deb
