These instructions are for Linux on POWER users only.

WARNING! You cannot install Linux on POWER without the following procedure.

StepsInstalling Visual Age xlc compiler runtime libraries

OpenSwitch is compiled and linked with Visual Age compiler xlc version 7.0. Before installing OpenSwitch, you must install the runtime libraries for the Visual Age compiler.

  1. Confirm that the runtime libraries are installed:

    rpm -q vacpp.rte-7.0.0-0

    If this command returns vacpp.rte-7.0.0-0, Visual Age runtime packages are installed, and you can proceed with the OpenSwitch installation tasks. See “Installing OpenSwitch”.

    If the command returns the message that vacpp.rte-7.0.0-0 is not installed, install the Visual Age runtime packages.

  2. Go to the IBM website.

    Follow the instructions on the Web page to download and install the packages on your system. 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 OpenSwitch. See “Installing OpenSwitch”.

  3. After installing the xlc runtime libraries, verify that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to include the xlc runtime library path.
