Hi All

I am quite new to Linux so please bear with my ignorance.

In my workplace we need to run Filemaker server 5.5 - a database server. We currently run this on Windows Server 2003 but we are keen to move to linux servers.

We have a Linux version of Filemaker Server 5.5 but it is meant to run on Red Hat 6.2 or 7.0.

After doing a web search I found that it doen't work in anything newer than Red Hat 7.0 as it linked against the glibc2.0 libraries. The same source gave a workaround for upto Fedora Core 1 by downloading and installing compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2.i386.rpm and then using the following script

#!/bin/sh
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_OLDGLIBC_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/ \
LD_PRELOAD=${LD_OLDGLIBC_PRELOAD} /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/lib/ld-2.1.3.so \
"$@"


Sadly when I try to register the program (it is payware) I get

Error: Unknown Error; fmserverd binary was not registered.

The how to I was following is

I was wondering if there are any changes that should be made to take into account I am using Fedora Core 6??

Or is there another solution someone can offer?

Thanks for your time
