I`m new in a Linux world. I have a RedHat 9.0 kernel 2.4.20-8 and I need to run an aplication taht is alredy runnig over SCO Unix 5.04 and obviously don`t work in my Linux ¿How can I do to run it?

[codejockey]

If you have the source code for the application, you can compile it under Linux and have it run. You may also need to configure the locations where the application looks for things and expects to write to, but these details are typcially handled in the makefile and/or the configure script.

If you don't have the source (and you can't obtain it), you may still be able to run the application if you have the iBCS2 module available (or can obtain it).

Hope this helps.

LMF do you want to run the program on linux or run the program on the sco box and view it on the linux box?

If you just want to view the program export the display on the SCO box to the linux machine

on the linux machine run xhost +<name or IP of sco machine>

then run the program.

This is how engineers at my company run the majority of their CAD tools.
