Hercules 3.06 release for Ubuntu

[Wayne Bickerdike]

I'm a bit of a novice as far as Linux installs and I wanted to install 3.06 since I've been running 3.06 on Windows Vista for quite a while.

The sudo apt-get install hercules found and installed 3.05.

I also downloaded the 3.06 rpm from the host for Hercules but Ubunto doesn't seem to have an installer for rpm packages.

3.05 works great but I wanted the SYSG support...

Any suggestions?

Thanks...

That's okay.  Novice level Linux is much better than no Linux at all.
:-)  Well, from time to time I run FreeBSD or Solaris instead of
Linux.

If the dependencies are compatible the 3.06 Hercules Lenny Debian
package might work on Ubuntu:

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/h/hercules/hercules_3.06-1_i386.deb

If not, I might be persuaded to install Ubuntu under VirtualBox and
create a 3.06 Hercules .deb package.  I've only run Ubuntu, Xubuntu
actually, briefly under a VM once and never tried building packages on
it.  I've rebuilt various packages, including Hercules, on Debian from
time to time back when I was running it.  This week I'm running
Slackware.  :-)

uninstall the current hercules using the synaptic package manager

Take the source code of 3.06

./configure
make
 ;
#under root
make install

You will experience a lot of compiler warnings, don't care.

in case you see some segfault on an ipl, you have hit
the 4096 buffer size problem for realpath. take any
new snapshot source from the almost secret location

http://www.ivansoftware.com/snapshots/snapshots

directory SRC

or take a binary from LX32 or LX64
