I manually installed my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 64-bit operating systemand can see RPM dependencies while installing Server Administrator. Wherecan I find these dependent RPM files?For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the dependent RPM files are on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installationmedia. All other RPMs are available in the /SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS\opensource-components directory. To install or update all the dependent RPM files execute the following command:rpm –ivh /SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/ supportRPMS/opensource-componentsYou can then continue with the Server Administrator installation.I have performed a non-default install of the Linux operating system usingthe Linux operating system media, I see missing RPM file dependencies whileinstalling Server Administrator?Server Administrator is a 32-bit application. When installed on a system running a 64-bit version of RedHat Enterprise Linux operating system, the Server Administrator remains a 32-bit application, while thedevice drivers installed by Server Administrator are 64-bit. If you attempt to install Server Administrator onRed Hat Enterprise Linux (versions 5 and version 6) for Intel EM64T, ensure that you install the applicable32-bit versions of the missing RPM file dependencies. The 32-bit RPM versions always have i386 in thefilename extension. You may also experience failed shared object files (files with so in the filenameextension) dependencies. In this case, you can determine which RPM is needed to install the sharedobject, by using the RPM --whatprovides switch. For example: rpm -q --whatprovideslibpam.so.0An RPM name such as pam-0.75-64 could be returned, so obtain and install the pam-0.75-64.i386.rpm.When Server Administrator is installed on a system running a 64-bit version of Linux operating system,ensure that the compat-libstdc++-.i386.rpm RPM package is installed. You need to resolve thedependencies manually by installing the missing RPM files from the Linux operating system media.NOTE: If you are using later versions of supported Linux operating systems and the RPM filesavailable in the directory SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS on the DVD areincompatible, use the latest RPMs from the operating system media.Where can I find the source packages for Open Source RPMs?Source packages for Open Source RPMs are available on an orderable DVD image.What do I do when management station RAC utility installation fails due tomissing RPM file?During the installation of the management station RAC utility (mgmtst-racadm RPM under /SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/linux/rac directory on the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD),the installation may fail due to missing RPM file dependencies on libstdc++.so libraries. Install thecompat-libstdc++ RPM provided in the same directory to resolve the dependency and retry theinstallation.46
