[Info-ingres] Problems with IngresII 2.6 install

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble installing IngresII 2.6 on an elderly Linux box.

I get the message:
gtar failed with exit code 127
/user/ingres/install/gtar: relocation error: /user/ingres/install/gtar: symbol
error, version glibc_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time
reference.

I replaced the install/gtar with a symbolic link to /bin/gtar. But the install
now fails with problems regarding directories created under install/tmp.
All the directories have permissions 644 rather than 755.

Anyone got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora Core release 5 (Bordeaux)

uname -a
Linux biobank.ctsu.ox.ac.uk 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 #1 Tue Mar 14
15:48:33 EST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Hi Martin,

I had the gtar problem with several Ingres 2.6 installation on Linux.
Most of the time
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.2
before running ingbuild helped.
