Installing on RH Enterprise Linux 4

[D-FAN]

I am getting one dependency failure with compat-libstdc++-296 and libstdc++-libc6.2.so.3 and an indication that this should be located in the compat-libstdc++-296.2.96-123-7.2.i386.rpm file. I find no reference to this library on this system. When I google it I find that is part of the older releases of RedHat, but not RedHat Enterprise 4.0.

This is a first time (fresh) installation on this server of Scalix.

Hi D-Fan,

This compatibility library should be on your RH4 media. Have you looked on the CD? I have this version on my RH4 test system: compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2

Cheers,

Nick.

The RPM you are looking for (compat-libstdc++-296.2.96-123-7.2.i386.rpm ) is on Disk 3 of the REL 4 distribution set.

I have 4 CD's but do not see this rom on any. I have specifically looked on disk 3. Could you e-mail me this rpm.

You don't need the CDs, you just need to do

up2date compat-libstdc++-296

and this will just fetch it from RHN. (I presume you've registered your RHEL4 system with RHN and everything -- especially as this is how you get updates.)

I am unable to download the libstdc++ from RHN. I am using the eval version for the purpose of testing Scalix. Up2date is screwed up on this installation. when I try to download the package manually I get a 35 byte file containing a message. If I download the source rpms I am unable to generate the rpm because the sources are not on this machine. A true conundrum. Would it be possible for someone to send me this one library for rhel4.

[jch]

Oh dear. Well, all is not lost by any means.

I've just checked the CD images we have and compat-libstdc++-296 is definitely on CD4 and I'm pretty sure that the eval CDs are the same as the "real" CDs.

If the eval CDs are somehow lacking, then there's always the Fedora Core 4 compat-libstdc++-296 which should work and you can download that from anywhere. And then, of course, you could always get it from one of the RHEL4 rebuilds (CentOS, for example).

Hi D-FAN, Unfortuantely I don't think Scalix is authorized to distribute the rpm to you directly, sorry. However, we can help you download it. Try this CentOS one (as jch advised). Let us know if you have any further problems.

Cheers,

Nick.

D-FAN,

Have you figured out the problem yet? If not here is your solution, at least it worked for me. You will need to do a fresh install but do not choose the default packages. Once you have the list of packages available to install you will find near the bottom an option to install legacy software to be compatible with older versions of Redhat. Choose that option and it will install the compat libs for you and satisfy your dependency problem.

I chose that option on a whim while reinstalling and everything ran fine from the scalix installer.

Not to put words in D-FAN's mouth, but :)

It appears that the compat-libstdc++-296 library isn't on the eval CDs. We fixed the problem, I think, I hope, with the CentOS RPM which does the same job.

You're right that when you're installing that there's a "Legacy Software Development" group and that group contains, among other things, compat-libstdc++-296. I thought that there were two groups -- legacy libraries and legacy developmen -- but I must've been dreaming. Anyway, checking the "legacy software development" at install time will get you compat-libstdc++-296.

You can also run "system-config-packages" on an installed system and use it to install the legacy group as well. Generally speaking, though, on a complete RHEL4 I'd just use up2date to download and install the specific RPM I needed. (An option not open to D-FAN, alas, who was using the eval RHEL). Part of what you're paying for with RHEL is the RHN service that up2date uses and, like, yum, it's worth getting to know.

I too am having this problem. I found the rpm file on a disk but where on your server do you put this file?

[jch]

You just do

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.i386.rpm

(subsitute whatever the name of the ffile actually is). This will install the RPM for you and you'll be all set.

Hi jch,

Thanks for reply, did this and seemed to work but still have the same error message. It says it also needs. "libstdc++-libc62-2.so.3". I looked on the disks for this file but can't find it.

Any ideas?

Hi jch,

Did a restart of the server and now okay.

Thanks for all your help.
