As an alternative, it is likely that installing the glibc update from a 
RedHat updates mirror into a later RedHat system (such as 7.1) is also 
likely to work.

You may need to boot it under a 2.2 kernel instead of 2.4 and we 
discovered that the security-patched 2.2 kernel shipped with Mandrake 
breaks Pick (D3) so I guess is also likely to break SAP.

If you just need a comprehensive SQL server and this all gets too hard, 
PostgreSQL is fairly complete and ships with most distributions. 
Interbase is also said to be good, but I have not used it myself.
