Description Larry Rainey 2023-10-17 03:01:15 UTC

I had not run my IBM MVS3.8 TK4 for a while - A new version TK5 was released and I was going to install it but Hercules does not run in 15.5.

Please recompile for GLIBC_2.31 that is released with 15.5.

Provide steps reproduce.

Comment 2 Larry Rainey 2023-10-17 05:26:48 UTC

Install any IBM 360 host

Here is one from https://www.prince-webdesign.nl/tk5

link to download mvs-tk5
https://www.prince-webdesign.nl/images/downloads/mvs-tk5.zip

expand the zip file to a directory mvs-tk5
zypper in hercules
cd mvs-tk5
chmod 755 *
./mvs

hercules fails here


I have it working in Slowroll virtual machine but not in 15.5
Hercules is installed from rpm on hercules-390.org

Link to hercules rpm for slowroll: 
http://www.hercules-390.org/hercules-3.07-1.x86_64.rpm

It also is same as 15.5 in zypper.

assigning to hercules maintainer

Comment 4 Larry Rainey 2023-10-20 14:04:20 UTC

Figured out that Hecules is built into the App

Copied an old Hercules library to the new machine and it works fine in 15.5
