Hi,

I'm trying to install Teamviewer on CentOS 5(64bit), after I download the Teamviewer package and install it, it gives me the following error

[itls@localhost ~]$ rpm -ivh teamviewer_linux.rpm

I even installed the packages mentioned above manually, but it still gives me the same error.

Did you in fact install the i386 versions of the packages or the x86_64 versions? By default yum would install the x86_64 on your 64 bit install so you'd have to explicitly tell it to install the i386 packages as well since those are what are listed as dependencies. Alternatively you might want to see if there is an x86_64 version Teamviewer (or compile your own).

Teamviewer7 is for CentOS 6, which has a later glibc version.
CentOS 5 has glibc-2.5 : Cannot be changed !

The Teamviewer version for CentOS5 is "teamviewer_v5" (Version 5.x) :

# yum search alsa-lib : And then install the suggested i386 package.
The same for all other dependencies, ref. post # 2.

Thanks for the reply, now I try to install Teamviewer7 on CentOS 6(64bit), but it gives me the same error, so I'm suspecting the Teamviewer package I downloaded is only for 32-bit Redhat. I downloaded from http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/index.aspx, and I chose the Linux -- Red Hat, Fedora, Mandriva (32/64-Bit) version, I don't know if this package just support Mandriva(32/64-Bit) or it also support Red Hat 64-Bit as well.

It's the same as for CentOS5: Teamviewer7 also depends on some packages.i686 :

# yum install libgcc.i686 alsa-lib.i686 zlib.i686 libSM.i686 libXext.i686 ..
etc. etc.

I installed Teamviewer7 on the 64bits CentOS6 / Scientific SL6
yesterday : No issues. The 'teamviewer' GUI opens OK.

.

i686 is not the same as x86_64 - it is 32 bit like i386. Only x86_64 is 64 bit.

Yes, I also installed Teamviewer 7 successfully on CentOS 6(64-Bit) by installing those 32-bit missing packages, the only issue with CentOS 5 now is the glibc which has to be >= 2.7, but in CentOS 5, it only support 2.5, so I couldn't install glibc.2.7, looks like Teamviewer can'nt be installed on CentOS 5. Any suggestion?

Please see post #3 : Teamviewer5 works.
