Installing WSAD 5.2.1 with 2.6 kernel/NPTL

This is a simple tip but I wasted a lot of time trying to solve this one, maybe this will help you!
I needed to reinstall by IBM Websphere Application Developer 5.2.1 today, but unfortuantly WSAD 5.2 only supports Red Hat 8.0 and SuSe 7.1. That's not cool cause I'm running SuSe 9.3.

But do not fret I told myself it is possible. Before starting the WSAD install, I typed the following:

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5

Then I proceeded with my install normally,

./setup.bin

You also might want to include that in your .bashrc or in a WSAD startup script.

Even this is for DB2, pay attention to the notes for RHEL3.
