For those of you that are not aware of my problem, see below. I have taken the risk of trashing the redhat system by copying the following libraries from my debian system.
libc libm libdl libtcl I ran ldconfig after copying the [more recent debian] libraries to the redhat system. I also removed any aout libraries that may have been on the redhat system with the above list. The dbtest program still runs on the redhat system. SleepyCat Software has informed me that the regression test program runs on BSD/OS FreeBSD RedHat Linux and Slackware I am testing the new database library from SleepyCat Software, available which provides routines found in libdb-1.85, plus locking and transactions. Can anyone provides some ideas? I would like to communicate with anyone who tries to run these tests with this software. Upon futher checking, here are the differences in a couple of libs: Both machines have tcl7.6 Debian (1.3.1) RedHat (4.2 Biltmore) /lib/libc.so.5.4.33 /lib/libc.so.5.3.12 /lib/libdl.so.1.8.10 /lib/libdl.so.1.7.14 /lib/libm.so.5.0.9 /lib/libm.so.5.0.6 Running the regression test program(dbtest) all tests pass except for the deadlock test (within dbtest, r dead) This is the debian box: dbtest % r dead Dead001: Deadlock detector tests Dead001.a: creating environment Dead001: 2 procs of test ring All processes have exited.
