Application Installation Issues

Latest response

Hello,

I am attempting to install an application on a RHEL 5.10 x86_64 system. The application requires that the package libgcc in architecture i686 be installed, or the installation fails. The system in question has two instances of libgcc installed, one x86_64 and one i386, but i686 does not appear to be available.

Is there a way to install the required version of libgcc on my system that I have overlooked? If not, is there a potential method of circumventing this issue using the existing instances of the package?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Sal,

Please, name the application for some of us might know the workaround.

A i686 rpm for libgcc is not available for RHEL5. On RHEL 6 and RHEL 7 you will find i686 rpms instead of i386.

Kind regards,

Jan Gerrit

Jan,

Thanks for the information. I figured that was the case.

The application is Symantec Endpoint Protection (for Linux) 12.1.5. Any ideas for how I can get around this?

Thanks.

SEP generally wants the libstdc compat RPM installed.

Also, you might want to give this discussion ID a look-see.

Tom,

Thanks for the information.

It looks like the packages you mentioned are already installed on my system.

According to Symantec's support folks, I need the two libraries I mentioned, and they have no way around that need. Is anyone aware of a package for RHEL 5.10 which contains these libraries for the i686 architecture? If not, is there a way to adapt these libraries from another platform?

Has anyone been able to successfully install SEP 12.1.5 on a RHEL 5 machine? If so, how did you get around this issue?

Thanks!
