Note 171356, saplocales, kernel 2.6

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have been using rpm to try to install saplocales-2.4. The thing is my Linux kernel is on 2.6.When doing the installation, the program screams about not having 2.4.

I did not see a saplocales.2.6 in the note.

I have installed the 2.4 version with the rpm -ivh ... --nodeps option.

This should still work - right?

TIA

Since saplocales is not needed for Unicode systems, this seems to no longer be an issue for me.

The versioning in saplocales is compatible with the versioning of glibc and has nothing to do with the kernel versioning.

OK, then.

The glibc version I have is 2.6. saplocales seems to be associated with 2.4 glibc.

Is there a saplocales that can work with 2..6??

TIA

I was going to suggest to try one of the source archives but I see the highest is source_saplocales_glibc_251.zip. I guess this is the sought of thing you can expect from using an unsupported OS ? Of course if you're using a Unicode system then this wouldn't be required.

Hello Neils,

The Linux I am using is the equivalent to SLES 10. I have done installations on this several times and have not ran into any major problems as of yet.

Anyways, a Unicode kernel is being used - so - I guess the saplocales issue is a moot point.

Thanks for the inputs.
