Thx and regards.

There may be installation error when u upgrade to rh9.
Search the place, i think someone post a 'cure' for that.

fyi, i have no problem installing Assura in rh7.3

that is true for 7.3 not problem.

still it does not work so well, as I had trouble while integrating @ssura into ic5o, :lol:

I heard about installation tar problems on linux many times.
I think you are using first Assura release for linux.
Simple solution:
1. Install this package on solaris.
2. Move your installation folder to linux.

Good luck.

I have install assura in redhat7.3,and set ASSURAHOME="assurahome" in bashrc,assurahome is what i have install the assura,but assura doesnt appear in virtuoso as calibre does,why?
does assura use the same license as ic5033?

I suppose that assura has its own features' license. Of course, you can include them into ic5033's, if they are licensed by the same server, or even better if they are all node-locked type only.

why not try to install on RHEL 3.0 ?
