Has anyone had success with installing D3 9.0 on Red Hat 6.0 yet?

Apparently the 32-Bit mode is supposed to work (but doesnt), and the
64-Bit does not even get past the D3_setup stage. I am aware that TL
are not "certifying" this platform yet, but as this is now RED HAT's
default platform, it would appear they should.

I have a few sites wishing to upgrade to D3-9.0, and whilst we do
this, we were going to upgrade hardware and hence O/S. Their new
systems might as well be "today's" environment.

I have also found that the terminfo is missing the WYSE60 drivers?

John,

I have had good luck using this package on RHEL 5 and Unidata

One of the (many) improvements in D3 Linux 9.0 is the support for
CentOS. I would apply my efforts there.

filter or translator -- you get to run your old Basic programs with wy60
ESCape sequences hardcoded-in, but it converts them on they fly to
the strings expected by some other terminal make/model {set your
linux/cygwin TERM environment variable as appropriate} using a
curses library.

But in John's case, if he ever does migrate to redhat 6.0 he should be
able to just copy the wy60 terminal definitions from an older redhat
{the infocmp command can 'decompile' if no source is given}. In the
past I've had to grab various things from older redhat install media, like
the 'mc' package, but you can usually find them online, too.

I'll second Scott on this. I've got 9.0 running on a CentOS 5.5 x64 machine.
Works great.

D3 has always run on CentOS, since after all it usually has exactly
the same functional code as applied by RedHat. The difference now, as
Scott says, is that CentOS is now officially supported by TL. Unless
someone corrects me, I believe that was something like 99% management
decision and 1% technical challenge. And since CentOS is completely
free you get all the benefits without paying RedHat for support.

I dunno about terminfo missing Wyse60 but CentOS developers are fairly
knowledgable and the CentOS forum would be a good place to ask about
that. If the driver was deprecated from the upline code, the CentOS
guys may or may not add it back in. You might need to get the driver
from a prior release. Welcome to the wonderful world of free and open
source software (FOSS) where you're free to spend your time doing
things like this...

(Wow, nice to see some tech talk here for a change...)

My reading of http://www.tigerlogic.com/tigerlogic...sheet/pick.jsp
leads me to believe that D3 isn't certified for RH 6.0, and whilst you
believe that Tl "should" certify simply because RH have recently
released it, I believe that if you see certification before June 2011
you would be "lucky" .... look at how long it took products like U2 to
be certified over RH5 !!!

Whilst your zeal is commendable, I'd be happy keeping my customers
back a step or 2 from the bleeding edge - there is a lot to be said
for a stable, supported platform, and REALISTICALLY what are you/your
users looking at doing with RH6 that they can't do with 5?

Personally I'd go 64 bit Centos 5.5 so that I could have upto 3Gb RAM
allocated --> we did some recent virtualization tests internally on
this platform over VMware & Hyper-V (yeah, I know Hyper-V isn't
"supported" by Tl either!!), vs bare iron, and whilst I was initially
"concerned" about running on 64 bit, it will now be our preferred D3
deployment platform moving forward.

(Of course, I'd like to see a "real" 64 bit version of D3 that
supported MORE RAM, but I figure SSD's are getting cheaper every
day :-)

What are you guys _doing_ that needs a 64 bit OS? I think you could run
most small countries on 32 bit versions...

I notice TL is enforcing the 'disable D3 activation on old box before you junk
it and load up the replacement box' rule more than in the past -- is that enough
incentive to _finally_ start worrying about how _reliable_ your hardware is,
instead of just how _fast_ or _cheap_ it is?

"REALISTICALLY" -- could we shorten that to just "R13Y",
A La I18N ?

TigerLogic has announced today certification of D3 Linux 9.0 on the
x32 and x64 versions of Red Hat 6. In order to run D3 9.0 on Red Hat
6, you will need the 9.0.M4 monitor and the patched D3_Setup file
available on TigerLogic's ftp site. Instructions for obtaining the
patches and installation can be found at
ftp://ftp.tigerlogic.com/pub/Linux/9...S6.Warning.txt.

Ross, didn't you know, it's always July in Southern California.
