Pre-installation instructions for Linux on POWER (32-bit and 64-bit)

Open Server and SDK are compiled and linked with Visual Age compiler XLC version 7.0. Prior to installation of SDK or Open Server, you must install runtime libraries for the Visual Age compiler on your system. Otherwise, you will receive an installation error.

Before installing the runtime libraries, you must verify that Visual Age runtime packages were installed previously by issuing the following command:

rpm -q vacpp.rte-7.0.0-0

If a “vacpp.rte-7.0.0-0” message is returned, Visual Age runtime packages were installed previously, and you may proceed with the installation of SDK or Open Server.

If a “package vacpp.rte-7.0.0-0 is not installed” message is returned, Visual Age runtime packages were not installed. You must then download the XLC v7.0 runtime executables from the IBM website.

Follow the instructions on the Web page to download and install the packages on your system. Be sure to select the installation package for Red Hat 3.0 operating systems from the download table. When installation of XLC Version 7.0 runtime libraries is complete, you may proceed with the installation of SDK or Open Server.
