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 (64-bit) machines.
By
default, RHEL 5 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 5 installation. Or, customize packages on
an existing RHEL 5 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++-33-3.2.3-61
- compat-db-4.2.52-5.1
- libXp-1.0.0-8
- libXmu-1.0.2-5
- libXtst-1.0.1-3.1
- pam-0.99.6.2-3.26.el5
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.
