Hi all,

we are in process of installing Firebird 1.5 on RedHat 9. Perhaps
it's just a minor typo in the Firebird 1.5 Release Notes, but I
want to be sure that I'm doing it right regarding the NTPL issue
on RedHat 9.

p.57 in the Release Notes.


1. in /etc/init.d/firebird
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
That takes care of the server instance. You need to have the environment variable set up within the
local environment as well, so:
2. Add the following to /etc/profile, to ensure every user picks it up for the command line utilities.
after
HISTSIZE=1000
add
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.25
On the following line, export it:
export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUT_RC LD_ASSUME_KERNEL


Does anybody know what's the right value for LD_ASSUME_KERNEL? "2.2.5" or
"2.25" or does it simply not matter?


Thanks,
Thomas Steinmaurer
