Dear all:

I have a program which can run under RH7.3. But when I run it under RH9.0, a error message pop up(title). What does that message mean? How can I solve this problem? Thanks a lot!!!

"I have a program which can run under RH7.3. But when I run it under RH9.0, a error message pop up(title). What does that message mean? How can I solve this problem? Thanks a lot!!!"

What is the name and version number of the program?

The software is called 'module', its version is 1.0.
It can be downloaded from http://www.ibs.fr/ext/labos/LRMN/softs/module/.
It is a software about dipolar coupling and alignment tensor.
Thank you!

"The software is called 'module', its version is 1.0."

I downloaded MODULE_PC.tar and took a look at it. There is no source code so I looked at the binary program using a hex editor. The binary program uses glibc_2.0. The problem may be that Red Hat 7.3 uses glibc version 2.0 and Red Hat 9.0 uses a later version of glibc. You can use this command to find out what version of glibc you are running on the Red Hat 9.0 machine:

rpm -qi glibc

If glibc on Red Hat 9.0 is any version other than 2.0 then that is possibly the cause of the problem. If the problem is using the wrong version of glibc then the solution is to recompile the program on Red Hat 9.0. However, you need the source to recompile the program. I could not find any source on the web site.

The other thing that I found was an email address:

module@rmn.ibs.fr

The email address and the postal address are in a file called MODULE_PC/module_doc/temp.

I suggest that you send an email to France and ask what they think the problem is. Also ask for the source code so that you can try recompiling the program to see if that will make it work on Red Hat 9.0.

Thanks a lot for your kindness!
I have checked the glibc on both system. On RH7.3, it is version 2.2.5 and RH9.0 it is version 2.3.2.
Actually, I have emailed the email-address they posted on the web, but I got no reply. Maybe I should try to send them another one. Anyway, thank you!

In France it is the custom to take vacations in August. They may be on vacation.

When I looked at their web site I found no source. I also found no license. You might ask them to release the program under the GPL and to supply the source with the binary. That would help users trying to debug the program.

Dear Jailbait:
I got their email yesterday, they gave me a new version called ''MODULE_PC9''.
Now it can run on the RH9.0.
I can email them telling them your suggestion. Thank you very much! Thank you!
