RHEL 5 SEP Client Installation

[Migration User]

While installing the SEP 12.1.5 client on RHEL 5.10, I run into a missing library issue. Specifically, the libX11 and libgcc libraries, which are not available in i686 architecture from RedHat. These packages are installed in x86_64 and i386. I have not been able to find a way to install these libraries, since they are not available from RedHat for RHEL 5.

Has anyone else tried to install 12.1.5 on RHEL5? If so, how did you get around this issue?

 

Thanks!

Can you post the exact error msg?

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

The SEP Linux client requires 32-bit Linux libraries.

On Ubuntu or Debian Linux distros:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

# "Package ia32-libs (32-bit libraries) no longer available"? Use the following command on newer versions of Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libX11-6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386

On Red Hat base Linux distros (RHEL, CentOS, Scientific Linux):

           sudo yum install glibc.i686 libgcc.i686 libX11.i686

Refer this article: "Libraries are missing" error when installing SEP Linux onto 64-bit Linux

Chetan,

I have already consulted that article and I attempted to apply that solution. However, two of the packages listed there are not available for install on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5 according to RedHat support. LibX11 and libgcc are only available in i386, not i686. This is what is causing the issue.

Is there another package available which might include those libraries or replace them with another usable library? Or is there another workaround which might get around the missing libraries?

Has anyone successfully managed to install SEP 12.1.5 on a RHEL 5 system? If so, please provide the process you used.

Thanks!

Basically SEP for linux is 32 bit though it can be installed on 64 bit OS. X11 libraries is related to GUI & it's not mandatory to load them if not using GUI. However you can download them from available sources and try to install them.
