Since you didn't get the package from your Linux distribution provider, I'm not very surprised that you have problems with missing dependencies. Using the .tgz file will not show the same problem, because RPM won't be involved, but then you've just bypassed the software inventory mechanism (similar to zapping things outside of SMP/E or SES), so it won't know anything about what you did.

You also won't be able to ask your support provider to help you out, either, since you'll have voided support for that package or set of packages. Only you can decide if having this particular version is worth all that, but if it were me, there would have to be a _really_ strong business case for it.

Re: zLinux IBM Java Install
If you're using the RPM (which Mark pointed out is the way to go), it looks like you'll need to install the other compat-libstd package (compat-libstdc++-33) i.e. not compat-libstdc++-295. You also need the libXp rpm. Here's the output of what each rpm provides (taken from RHEL 5): # rpm -qp --provides libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5.s390x.rpm libXp.so.6()(64bit) xorg-x11-deprecated-libs libXp = 1.0.0-8.1.el5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Server]# rpm -qp --provides compat-libstdc ++-33-3.2.3-61.s390x.rpm libstdc++.so.5()(64bit) [snip] With these two RPMs installed, I was able to install the SDK RPM. -Brad On Thu, 2008-03-27 at 11:04 -0400, Evans, Kevin R wrote: OK, thanks Mark.

zLinux IBM Java Install
I'm posting this for a colleague here, so hopefully the stuff below makes sense (personally I'm a mainframe/CICS guy). The JRE installs without any problems; however, I'm having a bit of difficulty with the IBM Java 6.0-0.0 SDK installation for s390x on zLinux. The rpm states a dependency error with libstdc++.so.5 as well as libXp.so.5. I verified libstdc++.so.5 and libXp so.5 are both installed (through compat-libstdc++-295-2.9.5.3-81.s390x.rpm and I can't recall the libXp library). I then removed the JRE and attempted to install the SDK again. No luck. If I extract the rpm directly everything seems to run fine. I'm using ibm-java-s390x-sdk-6.0-0.0.s390x.rpm and ibm-java-s390x-jre-6.0-0.0.s390x.rpm Anyone successfully installed the sdk here?
