Alma Linux - FP 5.0.14D4

Sat Apr 8 14:03:35 PDT 2023

Here is what will work for Alma-9, Centos7, or Centos8:

As root or sudo.

yum install glibc-langpack-en
yum install glibc.i686
yum install zlib.i686
yum install libxml2.i686
chmod 755 /appl
chmod 755 /appl/fp_v5.7.03.04D4
cd /appl/fp/FPFILES
cp -fp libfpodbc.so /lib/
cp -fp libtermcap.so.2 /lib/
cp -fp ld-2.17.so /lib/
cp -f libodbc.so.1.0.0 /lib/
cp -f libstdc++.so.6.0.19 /lib/
cd /lib
ln ld-2.17.so ld-2.17.so.2
ln libodbc.so.1.0.0 libodbc.so.1
ln libstdc++.so.6.0.19 libstdc++.so.6

If anyone needs the files in FP_FILES (my own folder) which are used 
here, please contact me off list.

The chmod 755 /appl and /app/fp are a must.

Highest chance of success would be 32bit slackware from 2000's since if memory holds, that is the OS that the dev team seemed to prefer. Also if you set it up as a virtual machine, you will be able to take snapshots and not worry about breaking things and having to start from the beginning along the way.
