the only thing that has limited EMC to RH5.2 is the version of
the NIST RCSLIB that has been included in the source package
its been compiled for kernel 2.0.36/RTLinux-9j (last I looked)
and a couple spots in the code that refrence RTLinux-9j instead of
a more generic RTL callout
the RCS source can be found at
ftp://isdftp.cme.nist.gov/pub/emc/rcslib/
newer RTL versions are at
ftp://ftp.fsmlabs.com/pub/rtlinux/
when I was instaling EMC on my Slackware7 box I had to download the
RTL patch (V2.0 for kernel 2.2.13),patch & compile the stock kernel
(Slackware dosent "fiddle" with the kernel source like RH) then get
the RCS library source and compile it for my kernels (both stock & RTL)
untar EMC & link the fresh RCS directory in
then edit the EMC source & makefiles to match my versions
set aside a weekend for all this and be ready for some frustration
(Im writing this from memory and may have skiped something/s)
this is a good way to learn a lot about Linux quickly,if you just
want to get EMC running you may want to stick with (yuck)RH5.2

BFP

PS, I dont want to start a distro holy-war on this list
but Linux is not JUST redhat,there are a lot of others out there
and most of them dont "customize" the kernel & file system the way
RH does,it tends to cause incompatability problems when you do that
