Just wanted to let you know that Sybase 15 is now installed and running on the QA box, thanks to the guide you indicated me. For future reference, here are my notes. 1) I updated all installed packages [sybase@jbws ~]$ yum info glibc Name : glibc Arch : i686 Version: 2.5 Release: 18.fc6 2) I installed compat-libstdc++-33 and libaio [sybase@jbws ~]$ yum info compat-libstdc++-33 Name : compat-libstdc++-33 Arch : i386 Version: 3.2.3 Release: 61 [sybase@jbws ~]$ yum info libaio Name : libaio Arch : i386 Version: 0.3.106 Release: 3.2 3) I did NOT install libXpm because I used the console installer 4) I did NOT install sun jre 6, the installer seems to come with a default java distribution. 5) I tuned the kernel parameters as indicated in the ASE installation guide (*). [sybase@jbws ~]$ /sbin/sysctl kernel.exec-shield kernel.exec-shield = 0 [sybase@jbws ~]$ /sbin/sysctl kernel.randomize_va_space kernel.randomize_va_space = 0 [sybase@jbws ~]$ /sbin/sysctl kernel.shmmax kernel.shmmax = 134217728 [sybase@jbws ~]$ echo $LD_POINTER_GUARD 0 6) I ran the ASE setup without creating any server. 7) Afterwards, I ran the EBF patch15682 patch and created the database and monitor servers.
