This area contains slides of talks and reports and notes
on work in progress on porting the CDF software to SL5. If you
are not one of our collaborators, you are not entitled to review this
material. It contains preliminary work which can be inaccurate, and
only members of our collaboration are in a position to determine
accuracy.
As of 22-Feb-2010 there are 101 CDF desktops running SL3 at fermilab.

To run SL3 binaries in compatibility mode on SL4 you need the
tcl-8.3.5-92.2 rpm
To run SL3 binaries in compatibility mode on SL5 you need the
tcl-8.3.5-92.2 and readline-4.3-5.2 rpms
To link binaries on SL5 you need to
ln -s /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0 /usr/lib/libg2c.so
since for some reason this isn't always present.

These slides are presented here for the use of CDF collaborators; both
for quick communication during phone conferences and for archival
purposes. They refer to internal development work, and are not
intended for publication to the general public. As of this date none
of our collaborators are blind, and since none but our
collaborators are likely to benefit from reading them, I see no
purpose in making the postscript files accessible to the blind.
