Preinstallation instructions for Linux POWER 32-bit and 64-bit

SDK is compiled and linked with Visual Age compiler XLC version 8.0. Before you install SDK, install the runtime libraries for the Visual Age compiler. Otherwise, you will receive an installation error.

Before you install the runtime libraries, verify that Visual Age runtime packages were installed previously by issuing:

rpm -q vacpp.rte-8.0.0-0

If this command returns “vacpp.rte-8.0.0-0” it indicates that Visual Age runtime packages were installed previously, and you may proceed with the installation of SDK.

If the message is “package vacpp.rte-8.0.0-0 is not installed,” download the XLC v8.0 runtime executable from the IBM Web site.

Follow the instructions on the Web page to download and install the packages. Be sure to select the installation package for Red Hat 4.5 operating systems from the download table. When installation of XLC version 8.0 runtime libraries is complete, you may proceed with the installation of SDK.
