[mapserver-users] Any Fedora fc8 64 bit mapserver users out there? [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi Antti,

I have heard back from 3-4 other users of 64bit Fedora and none of them 
are having problems like I had. The symptoms I was having are so basic 
that I am beginning to think that they may be hardware memory? related.

We are wiping that system and installing Debian Etch 64bit on it and 
seeing how that plays. I have been running Debian Sarge on a 64bit dual 
Xeon server for 2 years and have had no problems with 64bit apps or with 
compiling and building any of the GIS stack that I use. If we still have 
problems, then I think we can be assured it is hardware. If we don't. 
I'm not sure what that tells us, but I will probably stick with Debian 
on this box because I have work to do on it and don't have time to 
trouble issues like this.

I hope this helps,
  -Steve
