RHEL 6 x64: running 32 bit applications (redhat linux libraries) - thanks to Server Fault


We develop an application which currently works in 32 bit mode only. It worked fine in RHEL 5 but failed to work in RHEL 6. The reason is RHEL 6 by default is installed with 64 bit libraries only. Moreover, we didn't find a way to choose installation of 32bit runtime environment during or after system installation.
Of course, we did find a way to install three rpm packages with 32 bit libraries required for our application to work. But it looks like unpleasant for our customers (we have to install three rpms from the DVD in the command line). So the question is:
Is there a convenient way for RHEL 6 customers to install 32 bit libraries it their RHEL 6 system? Say, any user-friendly item in menu or a special command that install the same set of 32 bit system libraries that existed in RHEL 5? What are best practicies in such cases?

which 32-bit packages do you need? RHEL makes many 32-bit libraries available for their 64-bit systems. For example, yum search libstdc++ yields both an x86_64 package and an i686 package. – Chad Feller Sep 6 '11 at 2:21
user54614 A quite delayed answer but perhaps you will like it. – Soham Chakraborty Sep 29 '12 at 7:22
The fix in RHEL6 or in derivatives of RHEL6 is to add the parameter multilib_policy=all in your/etc/yum.conf file and that should work out.
It will enable fetching packages of all architectures and is not limited to the 64 bit versions only.

correct answers are always valued! I have removed the "is this correct" bit, since it is OK. – Paul Wagland Jan 10 at 20:49

SVN - merge one branch into another? - thanks to Stack Overflow


I'd like to merge all the changes that took place between rev 10 & the HEAD rev on http://url-of-branch-aand apply them to http://url-of-branch-b.
Something like...
svn merge -r 10:HEAD http://url-of-branch-a
Is this possible? If so, what is the syntax?
I am running the SVN client from the unix command line. The SVN client version is 1.4
EDIT: Yes, my specific solution was...
  1. change directory to the location of my working copy that wants to receive the changes (branch-b)
  2. svn merge -r 10:HEAD http://url-of-branch-a
This merges the changes from 'branch-a' into 'branch-b'
share|edit

Up voted as this is a common need, has a good answer from Billy3, and is poorly documented in other places on the web. – fooMonster Apr 12 '11 at 11:40

You also need to know when the branch was taken. You can do this (svn log --stop-on-copy .) in your branch to get the revision number you branched from. – Jamie McNaught Jun 15 '12 at 12:05

Hogan’s Heroes at DAC 2013: The EDA Hunger Games! thanks to SemiWiki

See Hogan’s Heroes at DAC 2013: The EDA Hunger Games!

Risks and Rewards of Engaging with EDA Startups: The Hunger Games!


Doing business with EDA startups comes with both risks and rewards. The Hogan’s Heroes panel at DAC 2013 features key decision makers from fabless, startup and vc firms sharing candid opinions on this risk/reward equation, and the financial and technical issues of engaging with EDA startups.
· How often do companies “burn out” and users “get burned?”
· How can you protect yourself?
· And, how do customers sometimes contribute to the rise and fall?

Jim believes that startups are the innovation engine of EDA.“If you do not invest in small companies, you will get roadmaps from the EDA “gorillas” but not much new technology. Certainly there is risk, but without startups, we don’t see a lot of innovation.”

Hear what the panelists have to say!

Moderator: Jim Hogan, Private Investor

DAC - DAC 2013 - My DAC Moment: 50 Years of Memories


My DAC Moment: 50 Years of Memories


DAC has been around for 50 years! If you've attended a bunch of these conferences, chances are something made one DAC stand out above the rest. What made that DAC memorable? Between now and DAC50 in Austin next June, we will be publishing your experience on the new “My DAC moment” page. There are no rules as to what counts as memorable: maybe you presented a paper, met your wife, shook hands on the biggest deal of your life, threw the first Denali party, or maybe you finally met a VC who would invest in your startup.

Wally Rhines' Moment
My most memorable DAC was one I didn’t attend --- 1982 in Las Vegas.  In March of 1982, TI Semiconductor Group was totally reorganized. After running TI’s Microprocessor Division for years, I now had the additional responsibility of managing the Design Automation Division (DAD), a bureaucratic central support organization that I had been doing battle with for a long time, trying to secure permission to allow designers to use commercial EDA tools instead of the mandated TI DAD-developed tools.

Jim Hogan's Moment
Its day 2 at the Dallas DAC.  I'm working for Cadence and we have booked about 80 demos a day.  John Gianni of Skill fame, is doing demos for the Virtuoso environment and DB integration.  It's 6:30 in the morning and Gianni goes out of the hotel for a run.  He trips on curb at the valet station and breaks both his femurs.

Zhuo Li's Moment
My DAC experience started from 2003, when my first DAC paper, nlogn buffering insertion, was accepted. I was very excited and since I got "free travel" (thank for my advisor, Dr. Weiping Shi), I planned a big road trip with two of my best friends.
