I manually installed my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 64-bit operating system

and can see RPM dependencies while installing Server Administrator. Where

can I find these dependent RPM files?

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the dependent RPM files are on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation

media. 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-components

You can then continue with the Server Administrator installation.

I have performed a non-default install of the Linux operating system using

the Linux operating system media, I see missing RPM file dependencies while

installing Server Administrator?

Server Administrator is a 32-bit application. When installed on a system running a 64-bit version of Red

Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, the Server Administrator remains a 32-bit application, while the

device drivers installed by Server Administrator are 64-bit. If you attempt to install Server Administrator on

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (versions 5 and version 6) for Intel EM64T, ensure that you install the applicable

32-bit versions of the missing RPM file dependencies. The 32-bit RPM versions always have i386 in the

filename extension. You may also experience failed shared object files (files with so in the filename

extension) dependencies. In this case, you can determine which RPM is needed to install the shared

object, by using the RPM --whatprovides switch. For example: rpm -q --whatprovides

libpam.so.0

An 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++-<version>.i386.rpm RPM package is installed. You need to resolve the

dependencies 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 files

available in the directory SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS on the DVD are

incompatible, 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 to

missing 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 the

compat-libstdc++ RPM provided in the same directory to resolve the dependency and retry the

installation.
