Red Hat subscription
The product requires some additional libraries to be present on the system (see list below).
The preferred method to add any missing libraries is to use the yum command to fetch the necessary library packages from the RHN (Red Hat Network) repository via the Internet. To use this method, a Red Hat subscription is needed. Register the system by clicking System >Administration > Red Hat Subscription Manager in the menu on the server itself. After registering the system, you can use yum install to download and install the required libraries from the RHN.
X Windows required
The BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server installer requires a graphical user interface. You must install X Windows.
On the Red Hat Enterprise Linux terminal, type yum grouplist and check that X Window System is listed. If not, then run yum groupinstall 'X Window System' to install the necessary packages.
Required libraries
Ensure that the following libraries are present to install BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server. To install the libraries, the following commands can be used.
Library | Command to install the library on Red Hat Enterprise Linux | Command to install the library on SUSE Linux |
|---|---|---|
libXtst (32-bit) libXtst (64-bit) | yum install libXtst.i686 libXtst.x86_64 libXtst-1.0.1-3.1 libX11-devel-1.0.3-11.el5 | N/A |
glibc (32-bit) glibc (64-bit) | glibc-2.12.x86_64 glibc-2.12-1.107.el6.i686 glibc-devel-2.5-65 | zypper install glibc-32bit glibc |
libstdc++ (32-bit) libstdc++ (64-bit) | yum install libstdc++.i686 libstdc++.x86_64 | zypper install libstdc++-32bit libstdc++ |
compat-libstdc++-33 (32-bit) compat-libstdc++-33 (64-bit) | yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64 compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.e16.i686 | zypper install libstdc++33-32bit libstdc++33 |
compat-libstdc++-296 (32-bit) | yum install compat-libstdc++-296.i686 | N/A |

Notes
- If an error occurs while installing a 32-bit library, try rerunning the install command with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the library. For example,
yum install pam.i686 pam.x86_64(RHEL) orzypper pam-32bit pam(SUSE) - After installing the libraries, check that the libraries are not corrupted.
- yum check (Red Hat Enterprise Linux)
- zypper verify (SUSE Linux)
