<LI>By GNU/Linux, we mean 32/64bit Gentoo, Red Hat, Fedora, Mandriva,
Debian, OpenSuSE, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, ...
<P>
</LI>
<LI>For FreeBSD older than version 5.0,
please see some <B>important</B> considerations in the
Tape Modes on FreeBSDFreeBSDTapes section of the
Tape Testing chapter of this manual.
<P>
</LI>
<LI>MS Windows Director and Storage daemon are available
in the binary Client installer

<LI>For MacOSX see http://fink.sourceforge.net/ for obtaining the packageshttp://fink.sourceforge.net/

<P>
See the Porting chapter of the Bacula Developer's Guide for information on
porting to other systems.
<P>
If you have a older Red Hat Linux system running the 2.4.x kernel and you have
the directory <B>/lib/tls</B> installed on your system (normally by default),
bacula will <B>NOT</B> run. This is the new pthreads library and it is
defective. You must remove this directory prior to running Bacula, or you can
simply change the name to <B>/lib/tls-broken</B>) then you must reboot your
machine (one of the few times Linux must be rebooted). If you are not able to
remove/rename /lib/tls, an alternative is to set the environment variable
"LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19" prior to executing Bacula. For this option, you do
not need to reboot, and all programs other than Bacula will continue to use
/lib/tls.
The above mentioned <B>/lib/tls</B> problem does not occur with Linux 2.6 kernels.
