I manually installed my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 - x86_64 operating
system and can see RPM dependencies when trying to install 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 your Linux operating system using
your 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 a system running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (versions 5and
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 file name extension. You may also experience failed
shared object files (files with so in the file name 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 a 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 your Linux operating system media.
