We are building a new server and decided to go with RedHat 6. DB2 Requirements page says RHEL 6 is valid for DB2 9.7 with Fix Pack 4.
When we try to run the installation for base 6.2.1 (couldn't find a 6.2.3 in Passport), it chokes saying we are missing Linux compat-libstdc++ (libstdc++so.6) But when we check, these libraries are installed at the latest levels. So I was wondering what DB2 fixpack level does the 6.2.1 base come with? Comment from my OS guy: ------------------------------------------------------ [root@galaxy ~]# rpm -ql libstdc++ /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.13 The library file is there. [root@galaxy ~]# yum list compat-libstdc++-33 Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin, subscription-manager Updating Red Hat repositories. Installed Packages compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64 3.2.3-69.el6 @anaconda-RedHatEnterpriseLinux-201105101844.x86_64/6.1 Available Packages compat-libstdc++-33.i686 3.2.3-69.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-6 The package is installed at the latest available level. [root@galaxy ~]# rpm -ql compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.x86_64 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 But the package they asked for provides the wrong version of the library. ------------------------------------------------------- Our RHEL level: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.1 (Santiago) 2.6.32-131.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Are we too far ahead, OS wise, for the installer for this to work? Any other suggestions for figuring out what it doesn't like?
