Note:

Adaptive Server 15.0.3 supports Pentium and higher chip sets.

If you are running RHEL 5 or higher, use these settings:

kernel.exec-shield = 0
kernel.randomize_va_space = 0

These patches are required for GUI components to work properly:

xorg-x11-libs-6.7.0-2
openmotif-2.2.3-6

Adaptive Server requires this environment variable:

For glibc version 2.4, LD_POINTER_GUARD=1
for glibc version 2.5, LD_POINTER_GUARD=0

Note: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6 is required.
