I have installed a 32bit application on this server (64bit) and it
will work but the provider states that first, I must install 32bit
libraries from your 64bit Linux distribution.

However, I don't know which libraries to install as they are not
clearly identified on the DVD. Can anyone shed light?

Could you state which library you need?
That way we can can help better.


Kind regards,

The problem is that the error message isn't very good. Here is what I
get when I attempt to compile

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libFlagShip6.so when
searching for - lFlagShip6
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lFlagShip6

According to the manufacturer's web page here, http://www.fship.com/linux64bit.html,
I need to install the 32 bit compatibility libraries from the RedHat
Linux DVD

Donpro,

Two ways to deal with the dependencies

1)
cd /path/to/Server

yum -y localinstall glibc-devel.i386 gcc.x86_64 libICE-devel.i386\
libjpeg-devel.i386 libstdc++.i386 libX11.i386 libXext.i386 \
libXft.i386

This command will install the dependencies for you.

2)

If you have a RHN subscription or RHN Satellite server subscription then:

yum -y localinstall FlagShip-7.1-04_26.i386.rpm

should install the dependencies for you and the FlagShip installer too.

Hi,

I'm using FlagShip 6 but in any case, RedHat RHN does not recognize
FlagShip and so I tried the first method which failed with the
following:

Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Setting up Local Package Process
Cannot open file: glibc-devel.i386. Skipping.
Cannot open file: gcc.x86_64. Skipping.
Cannot open file: libICE-devel.i386libjpeg-devel.i386. Skipping.
Cannot open file: libstdc++.i386. Skipping.
Cannot open file: libX11.i386. Skipping.
Cannot open file: libXext.i386. Skipping.
Cannot open file: libXft.i386. Skipping.
Nothing to do

Sorry Donpro,


Please try:

yum -y install glibc-devel.i386 gcc.x86_64 libICE-devel.i386\


libjpeg-devel.i386 libstdc++.i386 libX11.i386 libXext.i386 \
libXft.i386


yum locainstall expects rpm-file names, instead of rpm header names.
yum install can deal with headernames.

This worked thanks but did not solve my problem so there must be more
missing libraries. I've posted to the MutiSoft discussion group.
Thanks any ways.

Yu must find what rpm (I _hope_ it is an RPM) your 64-bit version
of libFlagShip belongs to (this can be done with the rpm command:
rpm -qf <file_ON_the_system>
and you'll (hopefully) will get a package name. The one you NEED
is the same package name with .i386 appended to it, you can try
to install that one with "yum install <package_name>".
