the real question is what is your machine?
the software you have mentioned are all old and hence work only on 2.4 kernel.
new machines are not recognized by older 2.4 kernel(up to RHEL 4.4). new version RHEL5 dose recognise the hardware but do not work well with old software.
Do not use any fancy distribution like suse and ubentu and bla bla bla.
stick to rhel and its clones like scientific Linux and cent OS.
install the software from media and use Assume kernel 2.4 option.
RHEL 5 and 5.1 has libs for kernel 2.4 as well as 2.6.
best of luck. need any help you ask in the forum. when successful post the installation procedure in detail so that others can benifit.

I recently started a migration to RHEL5 and so far most tools worked out very well; Mentor, Synopsys, Novas, etc., given that these releases are in/after 2007; haven't tried anything before that. Also CentOS 5.2 should be fine with necessary dependencies resolved. But don't take my words for it!
Good luck
