We hadn't tried on any other platform yet, that isn't good that they are hard coding it. We where thinking they where developing it for all of their supported distros (RedHat, Suse, and Turbo). -----Original Message----- From: Martin Rowe [mailto:martin@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 11:29 AM To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: Re: Check this out. iSeries Access for Linux!!

Well, it's RPM based so I guess it might work on SuSE too. I converted it to a .deb file to put on my Debian box and the programs fail saying they can't find certain binaries, even though they are on my path - it's looking specifically in /usr/bin for them. It looks like hard coding to me :( Even when I put stuff in what it thinks is the right location I can't get a connection to our AS/400 as it complains about my password (which *is* typed correctly) and eventually disables my profile :( I'm sticking with tn5250 for the time being... The other new thing for Linux on this front is the latest beta of iSeries Access for Web. That supports all the Linux browsers I've tried (Mozilla, Firebird, Galeon, Opera & Konqueror) which makes a pleasant change.
