Noguera changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |NEW Info Provider|ibz@acsat.net | --- Comment #3 from Miquel A. Noguera 2009-01-09 12:18:58 MST --- Sorry for delay. The software I need is a custom accounting + agenda, based on progress 6.2 runtime, which is not available for Linux but SCO. I started (to pay for) this developement 10 years ago (when SuSE supported ibcs) and now finally works perfectly. Now I have invested thousands of euros and I need to continue using it, because there is no replacement for it. I live in Ibiza, and this is a widely used software in my area: rent-a-cars, colleges, discos, restaurants, supermarkets, diy stores... All these small business (more than 50) are running similar software over SuSE/openSUSE servers. Running SCO binaries is possible thanks to linux-abi project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-abi), which provides necessary modules. These modules are compiled out the kernel tree, but fail to load if uts_sem is not exported. openSUSE kernel provides some other exports non presents in vanilla kernel to allow some "non supported" projects to be compiled without patching the kernel (reiser4 or btrfs, for example). Thanks for your interest. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Noguera 2009-01-10 04:22:44 MST --- AFAIK, last ibcs3 version is 3.7, which "only" supports kernels from 2.6.16 until 2.6.26 Also exist a patch to compile it under 2.6.27 (it's very easy modify it for 2.6.28), but modules can't be loaded if uts_sem is not exported, hence the need of the patch proposed in the comment#2 (grabbed from linux-abi project). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
