Problem running RMA under Fedora Core 4

Post by jivetolkein »

Bit odd this, never had any bother with the RMA agent before.. but 1.28 won't run just gives:

Floating Point Exception

Server lists this for uname -a

Linux server01 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp #1 SMP Thu Jun 2 23:08:39 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It's on a remote site and hI've inherited little info ion it.. so adding build tools to compile locally might be a bit tricky.

We use ssh to run most tests, but are tryig to get on RMA in each country, with a central backup, so it'd be nice to get working if you've any ideas.

OK, this gives

error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

.. whic I also had on a couple of other earlier agents I tried.

I guess I could link libstdc++.so.5 to /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.4 (the only one available).. is this safe enough to do? Not very well up on libraries

Yes, should work fine.
Another solution: recompile RMA on your system. Could you provide telnet or ssh access to the system?

'Fraid not, they're a bit twitchy about that sort of thing.. plus there are no build tools on the remote system - it'd be easier for me to knock up a FC4 VM and build it there rather than fiddle with a production system.

I'll give the link a try first thanks.

Thnaks guys, you did that quicker than me getting around to logging on and typing ln -s .... :-D

Installed and working, many thanks for your help. I was having issues finding an FC4 iso!

Hi Alex

I have encountered the same issue in three Redhat Enterprise 4.x machines. On two of them, which are Redhat Ent. 4.5 AS and 4.4 ES, RMA 1.25 is currently running. When I tried version 1.28 on these machines, the "Floating point exception" error appeared.

I also tried version 1.28 in another test machine with the OS Redhat Ent. 4.5 AS and "not running any RMA", the same error appeared.

Finally, I tried on a test machine running Redhat 5.2, it worked fine.

So; might it be a general problem with Redhat 4.x ??

By the way, the RMA you compiled for FC4 works in my Redhat Ent. 4.5 AS.

Regards,
Oguzhan

So I assume it works fine on other systems. Am I wrong?

You are right.

The "rma" binary you compiled for FC4 is working for Redhat Enterprise 4.x. I started using it.

Could you please do the same for 1.29, please?
Neither "RMA 1.29 for Linux" nor "RMA 1.29 for Fedora 13" from download page do work on a firewall (actual ipfire Core64 [this is not 64 bit, just version 64]), rma128_fedora4_x86.tgz does.

Thank you!

maybe the download section was a good place for this version, too?
Though this post is easily to find using Google (rma "Floating Point Exception") it made things easier for customers.

Yes, we can make it "official" after additional testing
