I manually installed my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 - x86_64 operating system and am seeing
RPM dependencies when trying to install Server Administrator. Where could I find these dependent
RPM files?
The dependent RPM files are on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation CD. For convenience, they
are captured in one of the following directories corresponding to a supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux
operating systems:
/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/RH3_i386
/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/RH3_x86_64
/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/RH4_i386
/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/RH4_x86_64
For instance, in the RH4_x86_64 subdirectory, execute the following command to install or update all
the dependent RPM files:
rpm –Uvh /srvadmin/linux/RPMS/RH4_x86_64
You will then be able to continue with the Server Administrator installation.
NOTE: You will need 32 bit library files even on a system running a Red Hat Enterprise Linux EM64T operating system.
Why am I getting a warning concerning the RPM package key during installation?
The RPM files are signed with a digital signature. To avoid this warning, you should mount the CD or
package, and import the key using a command such as the following:
rpm --import /mnt/cdrom/srvadmin/linux/RPM-GPG-KEY
Why is the Prerequisite Checker not available under Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
The Prerequisite Checker is built into the omilcore RPM package. The checker uses a combination of
RPM dependency checks and Dell hardware checks.
