This is almost certainly a glibc locale problem, so I'm changing the component ... assign to jakub fixed by textutils errata The updated textutils package depending on your platform are located: i386: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/i386/textutils-2.0e-6.i386.rpm alpha: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/alpha/textutils-2.0e-6.alpha.rpm sparc: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/sparc/textutils-2.0e-6.sparc.rpm sources: ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/SRPMS/textutils-2.0e-6.src.rpm Install the new update by running: rpm -Fvh [filename] |
The sort command that works on UNIX will not on Linux 6.2. If I create indentical files in UNIX and Linux and run the sort command this is what happens: UNIX Linux vi filename vi filename abc1 abc1 a bc2 a bc2 abc3 abc3 close files sort filename sort filename a bc2 abc1 abc1 a bc2 abc3 abc3 Sort in UNIX moves the line of text that contains a space (a bc2) to the top while in Linux it does not change position. We have a program that will not work in Linux because of this difference in operation.
