Unfortunately the machine I am trying to install ser on is headless (i.e. an appliance) which makes compiles very difficult and I don't have any other RH 7.0 machine available to recompile on. So does anyone have RH 7.0 binaries or RPMs that have been recompiled to fix the following problem?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Desc: ser won't run on linux kernels <2.4 (fails with EINVAL when intializing the shared memory) BugId: n/a Ser version: 0.8.8, 0.8.9, 0.8.10 Workaround: Upgrade to a 2.4.* kernel (older kernels don't support shared mmaping of /dev/zero ) or recompile ser with SYSV shm instead of mmap (remove -DSHM_MMAP from Makefile.defs) CVS status: n/a -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The RH 7.0 RPMs at the download site seem to have this problem (must have just been compiled without testing?).
