SUSE Linux 9.1 introduces a few incompatibilities
that require patches or configuration steps as
described below:
- Eloquence versions before B.07.00 are not supported
with SUSE 9.1.
- SUSE 9.1 requires the Eloquence glibc2.2 build to be
installed. Other builds seem to result in memory corruption,
possibly caused by an libc incompatibility.
- SUSE 9.1 defaults to the UTF8 (multi-byte UNICODE)
character encoding.
By default all programs (such as xterm or vi) output or expect
UTF8 encoding of characters. However neither does Eloquence
support UTF8 encoding at this point nor do commonly used
terminal emulation programs.
The workaround is to either set LANG (and possibly LC_CTYPE, etc)
during login or use Yast to set the lang environment variable
globally.
- The eloqdb6 server fails to start on SUSE Linux 9.1.
The solution is to install Eloquence patch PE70-0406240
or newer that fixes this problem.
eloqdb6 was not compatible with the glibc2.3 library due to directly
accessing the errno variable. This resulted in a warning on
SUSE Linux 9.0 and a start failure with SUSE Linux 9.1.
