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

Open Server is compiled and linked with IBM XL C version 10.1. Before you install Open Server, install the runtime libraries for the IBM XL C compiler. Otherwise, you will receive an installation error.

Before installing the runtime libraries, verify that IBM XL C runtime packages were installed previously by issuing:

vacpp.rte-10.1.0-0

If the command returns “vacpp.rte-10.1.0-0”, it indicates that IBM XL C runtime packages were installed previously, and you may proceed with the installation of Open Server.

If the message is “package vacpp.rte-10.1.0-0 is not installed”, download the IBM XL C version 10.1 runtime executables 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 5.3 operating systems from the download table. When installation of IBM XL C version 10.1 runtime libraries is complete, you may proceed with the installation of Open Server.
