Description
When trying to install the Linux x86_64 version of QAS you receive errors similiar to below (the exact version numbers may differ).
# rpm -Uvh vasclnt-4.x.x86_64.rpm

Cause
In the x86_64 package we bundle in 32-bit libraries for compatibility purposes (eg. for 32-bit programs on the 64-bit OS). These dependences are included in Redhat 5, but are not included in Redhat 6 by default.
-
Resolution
RESOLUTION 1:
Install the 32 bit system glibc packages on the machineRESOLUTION 2:
Install the packages using the --nodeps option
On RHEL 6.4 media the package is glibc-2.12-1.107.el6.i686.rpm
Example:rpm -ivh --nodeps vasclnt-4.x.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh --nodeps vasgp-4.x-305.x86_64.rpm
RESOLUTION 3:
Use the install.sh script to install - this will automatically use --nodeps if required
RESOLUTION 4:
If using Identity Manager for Unix (IMU) 1.0 to deploy the software to Redhat 6 x86_64 you will need to upgrade to Management Console for Unix 2.5. This will automatically use --nodeps if required. -

Additional Information
If you chose not to install the 32 bit libraries message about the missing dependencies may be displayed by rpm in the future. QAS is supportable without the 32 bit GLIBC installed and these messages can be safely ignored. Installing the 32 bit GLIB package is optional and would only be to remove the errors you are seeing.
