When i run DCTC i've got following messages: [marcin@drosera i386]$ dctc -g 192.168.2.36 INFO ] ""Direct Connect Text Client v0.85.7| hubip: 192.168.2.36 hubport: 411 Using 192.168.35.152 as localhost IP.

DCTC: db_appinit, open /home/marcin/.dctc/bDB fails: Function not implemented Other users of RHL 9 have the same problem, but if they install db4 from RHL 8.0, or recompile db4 from source DCTC work fine.

Download DCTC source 2. Compile it 3. Run DCTC 4. Watch the errors Actual Results: DCTC crash Expected Results: DCTC should be working :) Additional info:
Is this build problem or install problem? If build, you need to fix your build for db-4.2.52. If install, then you need to install compat-db-4.1.25. Which is it?
Hmmm, sorry, it's the same issue with db-4.1.25 in RHL 9 as well. If build, you need to fix your build, if install, you need cpmpat-db-4.0.14.
It isn't build problem nor install. I can compile and install DCTC without any errors, warnings and problems. The problem occur when i'am try to run DCTC (it show messages that i mention already "DCTC: db_appinit, open /home/marcin/.dctc/bDB fails: Function not implemented"). This problem appear only in RHL 9 with shipped db4 RPM. Beside in RHL 9 the only available version of db4 is db4-4.0.14-20.
"Function not implemented" smells a lot like you are running a non-nptl kernel and hence missing certain (optional) pthread routines. What kernel? What glibc? Where did they come from? Reading the bugs indicates that a recompile of db4 "works". That's prolly all that can be done for an unsupported package like dctc. Have you tried recompiling db4 from the src.rpm?
I'm running on home-made 2.4.22 kernel (vanilla + XFS), glibc is 2.3.2-27.9.7 (from RHL 9 update). I've found what cause this problem, you are right that is NPTL :) If i back to distro kernel (with NPTL) without changing db4, or recompile db4 from src.rpm without --enable-posixmutexes (i've comment this line) but with new kernel 2.4.22 (without NPTL) DCTC works fine. Thanks for help (and aiming me at NPTL) !!!
