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 4 and
version 5) 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 will
need to resolve the dependencies manually by installing the missing RPM
files from your 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 your 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 install of the management station RAC utility (mgmtst-
racadm RPM under /SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/linux/rac
directory on the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD),
the install 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.
