Gskit symlinks are broken after a Caching Proxy installation on Red Hat Linux 8.0
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Symlinks in the /bin directory to Gskit commands and symlinks to Gskit libraries in /usr/lib are broken after a Caching Proxy installation on Red Hat 8.0
 
Resolving the problem
When WebSphere Edge Component v5.0.1 or v5.0.2 is installed on RedHat Linux 8.0, symlinks to the Gskit commands located in the /bin/ directory are not created correctly. These commands include /bin/gsk5cmd, /bin/gsk5ikm, /bin/gsk5ver. Consequently, issuing any of the previous commands from the command line does not produce the expected result.
Also, Gskit libraries in /usr/lib/ are also broken. This causes SSL termination in reverse proxy mode to not function properly. This problem exists because of a defect in RPM that causes the links not to be created when the Gskit RPMs are installed. For more details, please see bugzilla defect 75057, at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75057.

To solve this problem, delete the symlinks and recreate them manually, as follows:

1. Remove the symlinks
rm -f /bin/gsk5cmd /bin/gsk5ikm /bin/gsk5ver
rm -f /usr/lib/libgsk5cms.so
rm -f /usr/lib/libgsk5dbfl.so
rm -f /usr/lib/libgsk5kjni.so
rm -f /usr/lib/libgsk5km.so
rm -f /usr/lib/libgsk5krnc.so
rm -f /usr/lib/libgsk5krrb.so
rm -f /usr/lib/libgsk5krsw.so
rm -f /usr/lib/libgsk5pll.so
rm -f /usr/lib/libgsk5ssl.so
rm -f /usr/lib/libgsk5sys.so
rm -f /usr/lib/libgsk5valn.so

2. Recreate the symlinks
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/bin/gsk5cmd /bin/gsk5cmd
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/bin/gsk5ikm /bin/gsk5ikm
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/bin/gsk5ver /bin/gsk5ver
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/lib/libgsk5cms.so /usr/lib/libgsk5cms.so
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/lib/libgsk5drld.so /usr/lib/libgsk5drld.so
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/lib/libgsk5kjni.so /usr/lib/libgsk5kjni.so
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/lib/libgsk5km.so /usr/lib/libgsk5km.so
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/lib/libgsk5krnc.so /usr/lib/libgsk5krnc.so
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/lib/libgsk5krrb.so /usr/lib/libgsk5krrb.so
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/lib/libgsk5krsw.so /usr/lib/libgsk5krsw.so
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/lib/libgsk5pll.so /usr/lib/libgsk5pll.so
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/lib/libgsk5ssl.so /usr/lib/libgsk5ssl.so
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/lib/libgsk5sys.so /usr/lib/libgsk5sys.so
ln -s /usr/local/ibm/gsk5/lib/libgsk5valn.so /usr/lib/libgsk5valn.so
