 |
|
Dear all,
I am trying to install RSD 7.0.0.4 (Rational Systems Developer) in a Gentoo 2.6.23-r6 / xfce4 4.4.2 environment. Roughly speaking, RSD is an eclipse-based tool for UML model-driven developers (subset of Rational Software Architect). RSD is not supported by IBM on Gentoo.
IBM Installation Manager (Version 1.1.0.2) fails to validate the prerequisites to install the RSD package. I have got the following error message:
| Code: |
IBM Rational Systems Developer
IBM Rational Systems Developer: The package IBM Rational Systems Developer requires system library libstdc++.so.5.
Make sure libstdc++.so.5 is available in the system library path before installing this package. |
But libstdc++.so.5 is there! No doubt... I have checked /etc/ld.so.conf
| Code: |
# ld.so.conf autogenerated by env-update; make all changes to
# contents of /etc/env.d directory
/usr/local/lib
//usr//lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib
/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1
/usr/lib/nspr
/usr/lib/nss
/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.16/jre/lib/i386/
/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.16/jre/lib/i386/native_threads/
/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.16/jre/lib/i386/classic/
/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.16/jre/lib/i386/server/
/usr/lib/libstdc++-v3/
|
The lib /usr/lib/libstdc++-v3/ contains libstdc++.so.5 (and libstdc++.so.5.0.7)
I thought that the installation manager uses the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to validate its expected system library path. Wrong guess... I have defined such environment variable but to no avail....
| Code: |
# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/libstdc++-v3"
# /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/launcher &
|
It still fails to validate the conditions to install RSD... 
What do I have to do let that *** installation manager understand that the libstdc++.so.5 is there? Any experience with the installation of RSA/RSD/RSM on Gentoo?
Many thanks for your help and suggestions.
Pierre

It may be doing a hard-coded look into /usr/lib. Stupid but things like this happen. Put a link to the library in /usr/lib and see if it helps. Once it's installed, you should be able to remove the link.

Many thanks for your suggestion,
It does a stupid hard-coded look-up in /usr/lib... RSD is successfully installed now. I have added a soft link /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 -> /usr/lib/libstdc++-v3/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 and the installation manager accepts to install RSD in my gentoo environment... By the way, RSD requires an eclipse-sdk 3.2.2. It would be nice to find such ebuild in the portage tree... |
