Select packages for hardware platforms that are capable of running
both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. Hardware platforms capable
of running both 32-bit and 64-bit applications include Opteron, EM64T, iSeries,
pSeries (PowerPC), and zSeries (S/390 64-bit) machines.
By default,
RHEL 4 only installs 64-bit runtime support on these platforms. However, various
applications included with WebSphere Application Server Version 6.x products
and packages also require the 32-bit runtime support. Therefore, you must
install the 32-bit runtime support.
Install the following required
32-bit packages by selecting to customize the packages during the RHEL 4 installation.
Or, customize packages on an existing RHEL 4 system by issuing the system-config-packages command
from a graphical terminal.
Install the Compatibility Architecture Support
under the System category. Optionally install the Compatibility Architecture
Development Support under the Development category if you intend to build
C or C++ libraries for use with both 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
Platforms
that support both 32-bit and 64-bit applications require both the 32-bit and
64-bit versions of the following packages:
- compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3
- compat-db-4.1.25-9
- xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.1 or xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.2
Run the rpm -qa | grep package_name command
to verify that you have both versions of each package. Substitute the name
of each package for the package_name variable.
Installed
packages are displayed in the reply to the command. If you do not get two
replies for each package, you have only one version of the package installed.
You must then install the missing package.
