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, IBM i, pSeries (PowerPC), and zSeries (64-bit) machines.
By default, RHEL 6 only installs 64-bit runtime support on these
platforms. However, various applications included with WebSphere Application
Server 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 6 installation or by installing the packages
later through the appropriate rpm or yum commands.
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++-33-3.2.3-69
- compat-db-4.6.21-15
- libXp-1.0.0-15.1
- libXmu-1.0.5-1
- libXtst-1.0.99.2-3
- pam-1.1.1-4
- libXft-2.1.13-4.1
- gtk2-2.18.9-4
- gtk2-engines-2.18.4-5
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.
