hi all,  
  
i am unable to install the EntireX on my Linux Machine(RedHat 8.0).  
i have installed all the necessary utilities which are required by Entirex, like gcc compiler & utilities.  
  
here is the result after each .rpm installation.  
  
[1] [root]#rpm -i dcom-license-v6.2.1-0.rpm  
this command works fine.  
  
[2] [root]#rpm -i dcom-v6.2.1-0.rpm  
Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche)  
Startup at boot time: (DISABLED)  
SuSE: enable it via YAST2 ‘Runlevel-Editor’  
Red Hat: enable it via ‘Service Configuration’

Hi,  
  
during the time of the release of version 6.2.1, RedHat 8.0 wasn’t released. Therefor we do not know if it will work at all. We will test the installation. BTW, the free download version is NOT the officially supported version. It is just a trial version. The official 6.2.1 version is not released for RedHat 8.0.  
  
Version 7.1.1 will run on RedHat 8.0  
  
Regards,  
Volker Denkhaus

Dear Volker Denkhaus  
  
thanks for your reply.  
  
my requirement is to develope an server/application on linux which will use the RPC & DCOM interfaces exposed by the server running on Windows 2000.   
  
i think EntireX will be option.  
  
where can i find the trial version of   
EntireX-7.1.1 ?.  
  
since i need to evaluate the technology for my product before going for commercial license.   
  
is it possible to install trial version of EntireX-6.2.1 on RedHat7.2/7.3 successfully ?.  
  
all suggestion are welcome.  
  
with thanks & regards  
Ramesh

Hello,  
  
either we need to update our webpage and put 7.1.1 on it, or I need to find a way to ship a trial version to non-customers.  
I will see how I can handle this.

Hello,  
  
we will not have any updates for the 6.2.1 trial version.  
  
Version 7.1.1 will be available for download in November.

Hello,   
  
I just had a look at the Prerequisites for Version 7.1.1. Support for RedHat 8 is not mentionned in the document. Is this true?

Stefan

Hello,  
  
it is true that RedHat 8 is not mentioned in the documentation. For RedHat we officialy support AS 2.1. But it should run on RH 8.0 as well.
