Yesterday on http://www.redhat.com/ they were offering a free download of RPM package of the Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise and of its docs. You are asked to register but can access the ftp site directly (ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/sybase/) if you prefer not to do that.
Has anyone tried to install these on a Debian system either with rpm or with alien calling rpm? Since it will be a big install and I need to clean up the root partition to do it, I would appreciate hearing if others have been successful with these. Please respond to me as well as to the list. I usually don't have time to read the entire mail list and would prefer not to miss a response. Here is what rpm on a Debian 2.0 system reports about the packages: bash-2.01$ ls -l sybase-* -rw-r--r-- 1 bates bates 32697133 Oct 1 09:52 sybase-ase-11.0.3.3-1.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 bates bates 8494779 Oct 1 10:40 sybase-doc-11.0.3.3-1.i386.rpm bash-2.01$ rpm -q -p sybase-ase-11.0.3.3-1.i386.rpm -R -i /bin/sh ld-linux.so.2 >= libc.so.6 <> libdl.so.2 = libm.so.6 > /bin/sh >S Name : sybase-ase Distribution: (none) Version : 11.0.3.3 Vendor: Sybase, Inc Release : 1 Build Date: Mon Sep 14 06:35:55 1998 Install date: (not installed) Build Host: sonofsam.sybase.com Group : Applications/Databases Source RPM: sybase-11.0.3.3-1.src.rpm Size : 112172700 Packager : Wim ten Have <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Summary : Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise 11.0.3.3 System installation Description : Sybase(R) Adaptive Server(R) Enterprise is the industry-leading structured query Language database server.
