Install Unix Remote Agent on Red Hat Itanium 64-bit

The Unix Remote Agent is a 32-bit package. If you install it on Red Hat/Itanium 64-bit, then you must install the IA-32 Execution Layer and some compatibility libraries before you install the agent.

If you are using RPM v4.2.3 or later, then there is an additional step to perform to work around a known bug in RPM. RPM v4.2.3 or later has a backward-compatibility problem with older RPM packages. The problem causes RPM to resolve the following compatibility library folder incorrectly:

• /emul/ia32-linux as /emul/ia32-Linux (note the capital 'L')

You can work around this problem either of in the two ways listed in Step 3, depending on your environment.

Note: For more information, see the Red Hat Knowledge Base and the Red Hat bug report.

Follow these steps:

1. Install the IA-32 Execution Layer.
2. Install the following compatibility libraries from the 32-bit Compatibility Layer Disc that matches your Red Hat installation.
   • glibc
   • bash
   • libtermcap
3. Work around the bug in RPM in one of the following ways, depending on your environment:
   • Create a symlink. For example:

     ln -s /emul/ia32-linux /emul/ia32-Linux
     

   • Add the following in /etc/rpm/macros:

     %_autorelocate_path /emul/ia32-linux
