====== Running sssu on Fedora ======

HP's EVA command view linux version can be run on Fedora, even thought it does not seem to be officially supported.

After downloading the Redhat version from HP, I encountered this:-


  [andrew@fedora16 sssu]$ ls -l
  total 7728
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 andrew andrew 7909895 Aug 21 18:41 sssu_linux_x86
  [andrew@fedora16 sssu]$ chmod u+x sssu_linux_x86 
  
  [andrew@fedora16 sssu]$ ./sssu_linux_x86 
  ./sssu_linux_x86: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I initially tried creating a symlink but this did not work:-

  [root@fedora16 ~]# ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
  
  andrew@fedora16 sssu]$ ./sssu_linux_x86

  [andrew@fedora16 sssu]$ 
  
  [andrew@fedora16 sssu]$ ldd sssu_linux_x86

Following a tip from IBM's website, I searched rpmbone for libstdc and CXXABI for Fedora16. This found ''compat-libstdc++-33.rpm''. The contents of it included the missing libraries:-

  Provides :
  libstdc++.so.5
  libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2)
  libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2.1)
  libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2.2)
  libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2)
  libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2.1)
  libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2.2)
  libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2.3)
  libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2.4)
  compat-libstdc++-33
  compat-libstdc++-33(x86-32)

This was downloaded and installed:-

  [root@fedora16 sssu]# yum localinstall compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-68.1.i686.rpm 
  ...edited...
  Installed:
    compat-libstdc++-33.i686 0:3.2.3-68.1                                                                                 
  
  Complete!
  [root@fedora16 sssu]# 

Now to try it again:-

  [andrew@fedora16 sssu]$ ldd sssu_linux_x86 
          linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xb7750000)
          libpam.so.0 => /lib/libpam.so.0 (0x4104b000)
          librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x4f5d1000)
          libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x4f568000)
          libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4f561000)
          libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0xb7677000)
          libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4f585000)
          libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x4f5b2000)
          libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4f3b1000)
          libaudit.so.1 => /lib/libaudit.so.1 (0x412e8000)
          /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4f38c000)
        
Nothing missing so far....
