32 bit PAM package for RHEL 6.5 x86_64, for use with McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise for Linux
McAfee Virus Scan Enterprise for Linux requires a 32 bit PAM library to be installed in order to use the web browser functions of McAfee.
I am running RHEL 6.5 kernel 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64
What/where is the 32 bit PAM library that I need to download and install?
yum install pam.i686 gives no results (no package available).
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Hey Mark, did you get some sort of error when trying to run the app? If it provided a filename/path of a file that is missing, you can run
yum whatprovides /usr/lib/libstdc++.so
# or...
yum whatprovides */libstdc++.so
I assume it probably wants compat-libstdc++-296 or compat-libstdc++-33
No worries. I'll give a few bits of my own personal advice.
* Always use yum - when you can't use yum, figure out how some way to use yum ;-)
* if possible, use the online repos (provided when you add a subscription to your system)
* if you can't use a repo, I would add your Installation DVD as a repo for installing software
If I am just doing some testing, etc... I might download individual RPMs, but I still use yum
yum localinstall packagename.arch.rpm
The reason I mention having a REPO to install from is yum will figure out the dependencies and also attempt to install them as well.
EDIT: see if this helps

To edit a previous post, there should be a small "pencil" in the upper-right corner of your previous post (once you are logged in). However, the edit might not be noticed by others.
In regards to installing the package you need and include the all the dependencies, I would either register your host to updates (which will add the appropriate REPOs) or add the DVD as a REPO. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/7227
Insert your DVD (or mount the ISO) and follow the direction in the link above. I would not simply install all the i686 packages. Doing so may cause some dependency issues down the road (I'm not positive about that though).
If you don't add the DVD as a REPO, you could
* mount the DVD
* cd to the DVD directory
* yum localinstall
To be perfectly candid, my order of preference would be
* register to RHN (to get packages and receive updates)
* add the DVD as a REPO using an ISO image
* add the DVD as a REPO using the actual DVD (in the drive)
* add the packages from the DVD by cd'ing to the directory
