Hello,

I have installed Salome on RH FC3 without much tweaking.  I was able to install it on a version that is only semi uptodate as far as rpms are concerned.  The steps I followed (and worked for me, but may not for you) are shown below:

# wget -nd http://www.salome-platform.org/download/...    # Download from the website using Firefox
# cd /tmp
# gunzip -cd /home/LinuxDownLoads/FEA/salome/salome-2.2.8.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
# cd SALOME-2.2.8/

# ./runInstall -g                    # Installed in /usr/local/bin/salome

The installation procedure configurated for Redhat 8 & 9, tries to use the native products of your computer.
On FEDORA Core 3 you have to force the use of all the products of the salome-2.2.8 distribution
 
To do that you have to follow the following steps:
- Launch the installation procedure.
- In the second page "install settings" click on the button "more"
- In the new page select "install binaries" for each product, each time it's possible.
- click on "next" and continue the installation

To run salome:
# cd /usr/local/bin/salome/KERNEL_2.2.8 && source salome.sh && /usr/local/bin/salome/KERNEL_2.2.8/bin/salome/runSalome &


If you get errors that a browser cannot be found when launching the documentation you can:
# ln -s /usr/bin/firefox /usr/local/bin/mozilla
(I did this because I prefer mozilla's firefox over the mozilla browser)

Good Luck

Hi,
I installed Salome 2.2.8 it in Caelinux beta1.

I made a standard install from CD on a different path (/salome2.2.8).

I then sourced the shell environment variables an launched Salome. Both 2.2.2 and 2.2.8 are working. Only thing I have to launch Salome 2.2.8 from a shell window, otherwise it won't start...
