export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19

Publiched Note on LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

Kernel 2.4 comes with a i686 optimized glibc package. The optimized glibc package contains two versions of the libc itself, one with and one without "floating stack" support. Which one an application picks up depends on the setting of the environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL. If this is set to "2.2.5" the application will use the lib without "floating stack". Some older java versions do not work correctly if the glibc "floating stack" is used. As a result, "universal installer" and some utilities as "database configuration assistant" will not work if the glibc "floating stack" is activated.
