I had some problems installing rhel5-client on a few of our machines. First off, it wouldn’t automatically register with our RHEL Satellite Server. I was given a file bootstrap.sh from the guy running it which solved that problem. Next, it wouldn’t upgrade because some packages kept having depsolving errors. This was solved by removing the following packages:

gcc-gfortran-4.1.2-46.el5.x86_64
gcc-c++-4.1.2-46.el5.x86_64
libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-46.el5.x86_64

After that, things could be upgraded ok.

I just installed a new RHEL5 (x64) system and got an error when trying to run virtuoso.

[ ~/oa]$ virtuoso
/net/sw/cad.rh/ic/ic61/tools/dfII/bin/32bit/virtuoso: error while loading shared libraries: libelf.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file o
r directory

Weird that it was complaining about a 32bit version of something when this is a 64bit os.

It was fixed because I didn’t have libelf installed. I also found that I needed to install libXp. Here’s the log of what I did.
