Hi
I am trying to compile HTOP to run on F5 and Checkpoint boxes.(they are based on linux)
These are both running kernel 2.6 (64bit)
I could try compiling it on the boxes themselves but they don't have GCC
I tried compiling on my system(arch , kernel 4.20) but the binary cannot be run . I get a "cannot execute binary file" error.
Any advice how i can better approach this ?
Are there any distros with older kernels on 64 bit ?

http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/dis...tion/11.4/iso/ has 2.6.37. Which 2.6 do you need?

Here's what I have exactly

F5
Linux 2.6.32-431.56.1.el6.f5.x86_64

Checkpoint
Linux 2.6.18-92cpx86_64

http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/centos/6.10/isos/ has 2.6.32
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/centos...el6.x86_64.rpm

http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/dis.../10.2/iso/dvd/ has 2.6.18
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/dis....13.x86_64.rpm
10.3 went to 2.6.22
http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/dis...0.4.x86_64.rpm

Oldest I found for Fedora:
https://archives.fedoraproject.org/p...fc7.x86_64.rpm

Fedora 2.6.32 closest:
https://archives.fedoraproject.org/p...c12.x86_64.rpm

I can report success on the 2.6.32 version.
I ran Centos in a VM and managed to get the thing to build after installing gcc and ncurses-devel.
I copied the binary to my F5 virtual machine and it ran just fine.
Now running into an issue with the opensuse (2.6.18) one since i think the htop source is written for python 3 and OpenSuse comes with python 2 .
May try compiling an older version or trying to get python 3 on the opensuse vm.

(not sure if i will keep the thread open since my question is answered regarding the old kernels and where to find them)

Thank you very much for your help so far .
