We run two Debian Linux servers at work: a back-up web server and a
sandbox for random Linux development. Recently, I decided to do an
apt-get upgrade on the servers to update their software packages
to the latest versions.
I figured it would be simple. We were already running the unstable branch.
And it hadn’t been that long since I last attempted an upgrade. So, as
root, I issued the following commands:
# apt-get update
# apt-get dist-upgrade
Uh-oh! I kept getting the following error:
Setting up libc6 (2.3.5-3) ...
mv: error while loading shared libraries: libacl.so.1: cannot enable
executable stack as shared object requires: Error 14

At work, we use Microsoft SQL Server and IBM AS400 databases. Here’s
how I set our Linux boxes to allow them to connect to the databases
through ODBC. There are seperate instructions for the
Debian and RedHat distributions.
ODBC connections require several layers of software to work. The
bottom layer consists of the individual ODBC drivers for each
database system. Our top layer is the DBI/DBD interface for Perl.
In between these layers is the ODBC driver manager, which keeps
track of the DSN’s and their corresponding ODBC drivers.
Packages and Software to Install
Debian Version (“unstable” distribution)
We use unixODBC as our ODBC driver manager. First, install unixODBC:
NOTE: Perl’s DBD::ODBC module requires the developer’s version
of unixODBC.
# apt-get install unixodbc-dev
