Filemaker Server on Linux

    Trying to convert my FMServer over to Linux, so i've downloaded the .tar file from your site. I'm running into a bit of a problem though.

    Chapter 2 in the manual says to just install the .rpm file, but there isn't a .rpm file in the .tar. Is this just a glitch in the naming of the file within the .tar file?

    Can I just rename it?

    I'm untarring it with WinRar on my WinXP machine to verify the file.

    If I don't just rename the file with the right extension then I need to find out how to get the Linux version of FMServer.

    There is an RPM in the tar file.

    I have downloaded the tar file several times with IE, Mozilla, and Firefox and each time get the same problem. Once I download the file then upload it to my server I try to untar it and get a message that it is not a valid tar file. I'm beggining to thing the tar file you have on the server has some how gotten corrupted.

    for some odd reason -xzvf worked but -xvf doesn't....

    I have fun into another problem though. I'm running Fedora Cor 1 and am having problems.

    When I install my rpm file all seems to be well until I run the fms_registration command. Then I get the following error message.

    -----

    Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno or h_errno directly. Needs to be fixed.
    fms_registration: relocation error: fms_registration: symbol __on_exit, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
