Thanks everyone! I'd done an ldd myself but couldn't figure out which package it went with.

I managed to pull the libdb package from houdini and make it work. A few bugs, but seems fine so far.

Now if I could just get it to work on my Win2k box . That's where I started when I finally gave up and went to Linux.

mta, no fanboyism taken in the least bit

JColdrick, I use a custom system because it provides me with exactly what I need and nothing more. That and I do some open source development that it's nice to try on a custom box rather than in an environment that doesn't keep up to date with what the latest changes in the Linux software world are.

I realize there are plenty of other options out there – including gentoo (which is basically one step up from what I do).

I really don't expect SESI support for this. But a little community support would be nice. All I really need to know is what packages Houdini is looking for – so I can check against how RedHat is configuring them and whether or not I even have them. With that little bit, I should be able to get it running. As of right now, my main bump in the road appears to be related to what database it is using, that's why I mentioned it and pointed out that is the main error I get.. Hmm, typo's and all now that I look back on it, oh well.

As for setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.1 – I went ahead and tried it, but also verified that all that does is guarantee that RH9 is using Linuxthreads, which is the default on my system.

Thanks for the help so far – and if anyone knows what packages Houdini is dependent on, that would be a grand help. I'm already trying to figure it out by going through all my files — and so far as I can tell the only thing I seem to be missing that it expects is the correct version of db. But I've yet to figure out what version of db it is really wanting nor how to configure it to its liking.

What are houdini's package requirements?

I'm beating my head about this one and can't find anything that seems to resolve it.

./libHoudiniUT.so: /usr/lib/libdb.so.2: no version information available (required by ./libHoudiniUT.so)


seems to be requiring GLIBC_2.0 … but even that doesn't seem to resolve this problem.
