CentOS 5 :: Older 32 Bit Programs In Centos 64bit?
Oct 12, 2009
I have 2 older 32 bit programs that I have to run in Centos 64bit. I have seen that in Centos-64-bit there are both 64-bit libraries than 32-bit These programs seems to work properly but is it necessary to do anything else?
Use python as example, I have 64bit python 2.4.3 yet I can't found rpm for 32bit one so I try to build it.Use default make or make --enable-readline is ok, python make cannot use CFLAGS, can use OPT and LDFLAGS to add -m32, yetit seems can only search for 64bit lib, or else crush.[Moderator edit: Moved from CentOS-4 to CentOS-5 forum.]
I have got an Notebook whose CPU is 64bit.The Notebook has an CentOS installation. Now I want to find out if this CentOS is 32bit or 64bit.How can I check this?
uname -a
gives something with ....i686 i686 i386...."
What does that mean?Does that refer to the hardware or the CentOS OS? An 32bit CentOS can be installed on a 64bit hardware!I am interested in the OS capability not of the hardware!
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10's GRUB. Now i wish to exchange it with CentOS-5.4's GRUB I didn't install GRUB during CentOS installation. Searched through Google and CentOS wiki find all about rescuing GRUB.
I just ran "yum update" to download the latest kernel from the repository, and noticed that it's 2.6.18-164.11.1 while the latest on www.kernel.org is 2.6.32.4.Out of curiosity, why is there such a discripency between the two? Lack of resources to test and build binaries?
The install actually seemed to go pretty smoothlyIt's a dell pentium4 with 128mbyes it installed textuallyI start the gui with 'startx'but the question I have is for the more experienced CentOS people.when I login as rootI am trying to figure out how to get my machine onto the internet.I had figured the OS would have NO problem with a Linksys 10/100 pci cardsince the OS has the latest drivers and all.The system reports the NIC as a "ADMtek NC100 ethernet" card (eth0)it also reports that the status is "ok"Now, I've seen the NIC when it's plugged into a hub (during the O/S install)and it DOES make the hub's light flicker when it tries to "talk" to it.but when I have it plugged into my Cable Modem (for internet) it's not doing anything.
During the install I SAW the NIC making the hub lights flicker... so I know the interface WAS doing "something".but nowwhen I go into the gui and I try the NetWork Admin , and I try to "activate" the card.Nothing.Am I NOT doing something that I SHOULD be doing?fconfig? (at the command line?) ifup? I would have thought I'd "activate" it with the gui ok...I'll keep poking around.I'm just a little surprised is all. Ubuntu 8.1 had no problem "discovering" and using a wireless Linksys cardTHIS operating system is even newer
Ive got the Remi repo all setup along with yum priorities. I know how I would go about installing PHP 5.3 but for Drupal 6.x version 5.2.x is more compatible. I see php 5.2.13 in the remi repo archives. How should I go about installing it? just wget the rpm and install?
Intel Celeron, 2000 MHz (20 x 100), 400MHz FSB, s478 Northwood core with 128 KB L2 Cache 768 MB RAM: 3 * 256 MB PC133 SDRAM (3.0-3-3-6 @ 133 MHz), DRAM:FSB running as 4:3 Intel Havre D845HV (3 PCI, 1 AGP, 3 SDR DIMM, Audio) (latest BIOS, HV84510A.86A.0050.P15.0305252001) Western Digital 60GB hard disc, WDC WD600BB-75CAA0 SONY DVD-ROM DDU1612, and some generic floppy
[code]....
all in all this was a pretty good machine to run Windows XP SP3, MS office 2000 (or 2003), and some mozilla-based browser (Firefox can work OK, but with "K-Meleon 1.5.4" it's fast as lighting). It has enough horsepower to run CounterStrike at 1024*768 and play MiHD movies with just a few ocasional glitches. Plays DVDs or XVID and MP3s without any problems, and they don't seem to use much resources in Task Manager. Sound, graphics and network subsystem work very good, but this will always be a PC133 SDRAM system hence memory bandwidth problems, and not much can be done about that. Machine was used as office + internet box, with some Winamp music playing in the background and as such it was great.
Now I turned it into (dual boot) CentOS 5.4 development server for developing a nonprofit PHP site.Joomla-based contents load slower from this machine on the intranet then on the regular server online. It's not crazy slow (like pentium 1 @ 166 mhz) but it's definitelly not good either. I think it should be able to run much much better, especially when I remember the Athlon T-bird at 1 GhZ with 512 MB PC100 RAM used to be much more responsive while running web apps on Mandrake 9 (when it came out) with KDE WM, while this cellery runs just server in init 3 (no Xorg or Gnome, just command prompt).
Please advise me how could I enhance the speed of the system. CentOS 5.4 was installed with all settings on default. Everything worked plug'n'play, didn't need to install anything extra. Machine primarily runs Apache2 with PHP and MySQL, SSH and SFTP daemons, not much else I guess. No GUI, mostly it runs headless anyway. I'm mostly annoyed by the way it serves pages, it's like it takes up to 6 seconds to precache some complex PHP page and then poof! whole page appears at once. I'd much rather if it served the contents of the page part by part, gradually filling in the details. I'm not sure if (and how) that can be achieved though. I'd like to optimize servers (mostly Apache) and maybe net config to run smoother and faster.
I'm sorry if this is recurring subject, but I have searched the forum for such a subject and can't find one.I'm using Xubuntu 8.10, I'd like to update my programs to the latest releases, but the available updates in 8.10 versions are not the newest ones. I can't upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu due to some known issues with older Intel drivers.
Is it possible to have the latest updates of packages while I still using 8.10 version?
There are bugs in a program that the newer version is supposed to have fixed but the Ubuntu Repositories only have an older version.
1) Is there a place I can check to see if there is an update planned for the Ubuntu Repositories soon?
2) If I download and install the newer version from the source's website, will this break getting future updates from the Ubuntu Repositories using apt-get or aptitude or synaptic?
I'm guessing Red Hat (and therefor Centos) backport programs like newer Open Offices. Is this true? If so, is there a list of programs that they maintain actively?
Unfortunately I encountered a huge problem to installation of wine on CentOS 5.4 64biti, so I need your support. Im beginner in linux especial in CentOS, so I need step by step somebody tell me how to made installation. On CentOS is much difficult comparison with my expectation, but I need installed on CentOS.
So, I waiting any advice or suggestion, much early is possible.
so i built my computer with a 32 bit system and I was wondering if it might run on a 64bit. how can i tell and how do you upgrade to a 64?in aix i can just relink the /unix file to a 64bit file and reboot.oh ya do i gain that much by going to a 64bit system? this will be a mail and www and may be a spacewalk system may be use it as a media system too to serve up my mp3/dvd or store them. home system not work related.
I recently got a hosted CentOS 5.5 box at a server farm to run a small ftp server for me.
They preloaded the image and installed a .86_64 build of 5.5, and I've only been familiar with i386.
I didn't think there'd be much of an issue from this, but I've gone thru all the normal steps to install and configure VSFTPD, however nothing is working.
I'm running CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
and I've gotten VSFTPD build 2.0.5 release 16.e15_5.1 installed from both yum and rpm (at separate times) and I've also tried grabbing the tar ball of 2.3.2 and 2.3.4, but run into dependency issues when compiling the code using GCC (it wasnt installed the first time).
i've started and made vsftpd persistent using service vsftpd start, chkconfig vsftpd on, and i restart the service after any changes to the conf file.
I'm trying to run the following settings. in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
# Example config file /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf # # The default compiled in settings are fairly paranoid. This sample file # loosens things up a bit, to make the ftp daemon more usable.
I have a CentOS 5.5 system that I am able to run fully virtualized 32-bit VM's on just fine, but I have need to run some 64-bit VM's on it. It has a "paravirtualized" option that might possibly work, but it wants a network install path, and I am not sure if this is the actual solution. When I go to create the VM I only have i686 and xen for options on the virtualized method, is there a way to add (I am presuming) amd64 in here somehow? The CPU is definitely 64-bit. My google-fu hasn't found results for me yet.
is there any graphical interface for installing programs in linux. Like installers in windows? or it is possible only through terminal?is there experience notes how to install things in linux? after i download something i am completely lost what to do next and how to check if this version is sutable for my version of linux etc. Trying to search internet gives nothing. Also I have this problem that my resolution is too high. so fonts are to small i cannot spend time in linux because my eyes start hurting. I use GNOMEThere are resolutions like 1280 x 960 next is 1440 x 900 1440x900 is sutable for my form of monitor.But 1280 960 is for more square like monitore so if i choose this resolution it looks bad. if i choose 1440 its too little. As it is max resolution for my monitor.In windows i use resolution 1280 x 768 how can i setup that in linux. Also in driver or something it says Ati 3600 series. But i have Ati radeon HD 3730 when i try to choose different versions of ... it says cannot start x server.
On a newly installed centos I updated mysql-* & php-* files using RPM repository, and I installed phpmyadmin. After that i tried restarting mysql and it just said: failed
Code: service mysqld start MySQL Daemon failed to start. Starting mysqld: [FAILED]
how to work with linux (centos 5.2 64bit) but i am having a hard time to get this screen install. I was going to try this but i was not sure as i have reinstall the os many times because i do something wrong.
I'm not sure why, but over the last couple of days when I browse the web with my Centos 5.3 machine running firefox 3.0.5, it takes a very long time to load web pages. Loading the app itself is pretty quick, and I have not issues with system resources (it's an HP Proliant ML115 server, with dual opteron processors & 3Gb RAM). Looking at CPU & disk useage there's nothing out of the ordinary:
(Second Try) I installed CentOS 5.5 from CDs 32 bit, everything works fine. I then re-install, but this time 64 bit, everything else is the same, I use all of the same options. This time though it sees the network card, and allows me to configure it and activate it. It will not connect outside of it's self, IE it can ping it's self, but nothing else. Go back to 32 bit, and zero problems, try 64 again, no network. Each time I do full installs with partition formatting etc. In case it makes hill-o-beans difference, Intel P4, 2.66 Ghz. 2.0 GB RAM MSi Motherboard.
I will be great if someone helps me to know how to access NTFS partition in CentOS 64 bit. I tried with google and could mount the partition but read/werite operation is too slow.
I have installed centos 5 64 bit in my machine but all the dependencies like php, httpd, glibc, gcc, gd, openssl and others are 32 bit, I need them to be updated to 64 bit.
I've been trying to compile a small program on my 64bit Centos 5.3 but I need to compile it in 32bit mode. I've tried editing the make file and changing CC=gcc to CC='gcc -m32" and that doesn't work. I have also tried to use "make CC='gcc -m32' and that doesn't work either. It wont compile. Do I need to install something with yum to get 32bit compiler to work?
I have searched the whole google but did not find anything. I am trying to install a game server using hldsupdatetool.bin which can be found here, [URL]. Unfortunately it can only run on 32bit Operating Systems. I need it to run on 64bit. What do I need to install? Please be specific since I am really new to linux. Please tell me what I exactly have to type in the command prompt.
I have a system with a missing or damaged kernel and I need to reinstall some software to fix it (see this thread for reference removed xen and kernel is gone). I feel fairly certain I can fix my system with the info in that thread however I don't know if this was a 32bit or 64bit system. How can I tell after using the dvd and linux rescue or does it even matter?
