Installing Tivoli Storage Manager Client on Linux x86_64 Hosts

by

Are you trying to install the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client on your 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux box?

Are you getting an error like:

error: Failed dependencies:
libstdc++.so.5()(64bit) is needed by TIVsm-API64-5.4.0-0.x86_64
libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2)(64bit) is needed by TIVsm-API64-5.4.0-0.x86_64

libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2.2) is needed by TIVsm-API-5.4.0-0.i386

Do you already have compat-libstdc++-33 installed?

Yeah, I did, too. Turns out you need the 32-bit compat-libstdc++-33 package. Get it with:

up2date compat-libstdc++-33 --arch=i386

If this is mentioned anywhere I didn’t find it.

You might end up with both 32- and 64-bit versions of that package. You can get rid of them all if you need to with:

rpm --erase --allmatches compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3

  1. The 32 and 64-bit library stuff can be a pain in the ass 😉

    A little rpm query if you want to do rpm -qa to show those ‘duplicate’ libs:

    rpm -qa --queryformat='%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}n'

    You could set that query-format as default in your .rpmmacros I guess

  2. aol. I wasted an afternoon a few weeks months ago wondering why emulex hbanyware wouldn’t install on my x86_64 servers, same deal only with xorg-x11-libs >:

  5. When we setup TSM client 6.1.0.2 on a RHEL 4.8 (x86_64), we also installed libstdc++-3.4.6-11.el4_8.1.i386 via:

    up2date libstdc++ –arch=i386

    Thx for your post, SteveZi.
