Re: Installation fails on RHEL 5 linux system

G'day,
            Had a very similar problem on my new non-distro linux build. After a bit of digging,
I discovered that setting the evironment up for 32bit only build will solve this issue. On this machine,
a command of ;

USE_ARCH=32 CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./xfce4-4.4.2-installer.run

..will get around the error you're seeing. I'm not sure how RHEL-5 handles it's multilib setup,
but hopefully it will be somewhat similar.

Re: Installation fails on RHEL 5 linux system

It's far easier to install Xfce with rpm. Packages are available in the CentOS Extras repository [1], so you can install them with yum. We, the Fedora Project, are also planning to add Xfce to EPEL. Stay tuned!

[1] Select your mirror from http://www.centos.org/modules/tinyconte … .php?id=13
http://wftp.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/ce … i386/RPMS/ for example

Regards,
Christoph
