virtuoso on Fedora (2)

 Hello,

I read a post in this forum that ask if virtuoso will work on Fedora. The answer was probably yes. I am trying IC614 on fedora15. The install process do not present error. But when I want to run virtuoso, there is a message :  virtuoso:   ERROR: Unrecognized platform.

Does it exist a solution to avoid platform verification to be run by virtuoso ? environment variable to define ?

Regards,

    I believe the full error message would have given more details - looking at the wrapper script. It should have said something like this:

    virtuoso:   ERROR: Unrecognized platform.
    virtuoso:          Make sure that your current host architecture and OS are
    virtuoso:          supported by Cadence for the application: virtuoso.
    virtuoso:          If you contact your Cadence representative, please provide the
    virtuoso:          following information:
    virtuoso:              - cds_plat returned:
    virtuoso:                  fedora not supported
    virtuoso:              - on platform: Linux lnx-andrewb-m65 2.6.18-36.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jul 20 14:26:46 EDT 2007 x86_64

    The bit in italics is just what I fooled the cds_plat command into return just to reproduce the error message.

    Regardless of what it returns, there is a reason why platforms are not supported. Nobody has tested them. Fedora 15 is extremely new, and IC614 is not even supported on RHEL6, let alone the latest community version.

    We support RHEL 4, RHEL 5, SLES 10, SLES 11 for IC614. That's it. Nothing else is tested, so you really should stick to a supported OS version. It would however be helpful to know what you get from the full error message - but even if you were able to hack things so that it worked, that really would not be recommended.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
