[rhn-users] newbie question about /lib/i686, /lib/tls

[Ted Sung]

Hi,

I recently purchased RHEL 3 WS in order to build a C dynamic library for a 
client who is running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon) .  I 
built the library and sent it to them.  When they built and ran their 
program,  it crashes.  When they did a
ldd on the executable, they see

>         ldd a.out
>         libintexcmo.so => not found
>         libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb75bd000)
>         libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb75ba000)
>         libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7483000)
>         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb75eb000)

I looked on my system and noticed that I did not have a /lib/tls directory.
When they do the following:

>LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1

the program works!!

It seems like it has something to do with these /lib/tls run time libraries 
and my question is
where do I find these?  They don't seem to be installed on my side.

Here is some of my system info:

>bash-2.05b$ gcc -v
>Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.3/specs
