Searching for glibc-2.11.1-1.i686
 

Hello,

I'm trying to install a antivirus software, which my university provides. After nummerous attempts it works partially, meaning, i can scan my drives, directories and stuff but i can't use the buil-in on-access scanner.

After looking in the manual, i found out, that this seems to be a well known problem for red hat 64 bit distributions and derivatives. For me, using fedora 15 64bit, this means, i have to install the following packages:
glibc-2.11.1-1.i686
nss-softokn-freebl.i686 2.12.4-10.fc12
I was able to find the second one, but i can't find the first one. I searched in the fedora database, on the gnu site, an other locations, google suggested.
Could anyone help me out, i really appreciat it!

Best regards,
sgr.

glibc is installed on your system. What version is it?

rpm -qa |grep glibc

You may not need the exact version specified but may have only the x86_64 package and need the i686 (or i386) package in addition for 32 bit.

yum list glibc
Will show what you have installed as well as available packages from the repository. If you only have the x86_64 version installed you can safely install the i386 (or i686) as well.

# yum search glibc

# yum install glibc.i686

> > will provide 'glibc-2.12.90-21.fc15.i686'.

Hi MensaWater,
here is, what the terminal showed:

glibc-common-2.13.90-9.x86_64
glibc-2.13.90-9.i686
glibc-devel-2.13.90-9.i686
glibc-2.13.90-9.x86_64
glibc-headers-2.13.90-9.x86_64

After the installationattempts of the scanner i searched through the logs and found this:
In the Log of the on-access scanner
1021 checking how to create a ustar tar archive... (cached) gnutar
1022 checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles...
1022 no
1023 checking for gcc... gcc
1024 checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C
1024 compiler cannot create executables
1025 See `config.log' for more details.
1026

the config.log
98 gcc: error: unrecognized option '-V'
99 gcc: fatal error: no input files
100 compilation terminated.
and
130 configure:2493: error: C compiler cannot create executables

I can't really make anything of this, except, what i read. Can anyone of you?

regards,
sgr.

PS: i know i just posted some snippets of the logs, but these where the only lines, that told me anything :-(

sgrwhat ever you do DO NOT DO NOT change fedora 15's glib
you will KILL THE INSTALL
you will NEVER BOOT the computer ever again !!!

Fedora 15 dose NOT REQUIRE AV software !!!
also there IS ALREADY a Microsoft virus scanner in the fedora repo
It is called ClamAV - it looks forMicrosoft Windows viruses THAT DO NOT WORK NOR EVEN RUN IN FEDORA
there are NO MICROSOFT VIRUSES THAT RUN ON FEDORA !!!!!!!!!!!

# yum install clamav : Is the correct spelling.


Solution : # yum install gcc-c++

I.e. gcc alone will only have a very limited function.
The c++ part of gcc takes care of installing all the files required
for "gcc" to work.

..

Hi knudfl,

gcc-c++ is already installed and the problem still occured during installation. On the developers Site is the following comment:

If the kernel has been compiled with a non standard version of gcc, you have to compile the on-access scanner "talpa" yourself. You can do so by making a file called "build.options" in the directory "talpa/override". this file should just have one line, which should name the option, which could be passed directly to the talpa-configurationscript . In this case the entry should be something like "GCC=gcc-kernel" whereas "gcc-kernel" is a GCC-Binary for the kernelcompilation. (The original statemant is in german, so I tried to translate...)

Can you or anybodyelse help me with this?

regards,
sgr.

what is it you are installing ???
some unknown named antivirus software that fedora 15 dose not need because Microsoft windows viruses DO NOT RUN on Linux !
though Clamd is used on email servers to keep MS viruses OFF microsoft computers
( out of Microsoft's Outlook program - the #1 cause for infection)

or
a NON fedora 15 glib
something that will KILL the fedora 15 install

and/or

WHY ONLY gcc ???
there are a BUNCH of programs it NEEDS
the help pages have you install the software gruop
then you talk about the kernel ???????


WHAT IS IT YOU ARE DOING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



??????????????

Hi,

I'm sorry, if i hadn't made myself clear. I am trying to install an Antivirus software called Sophos for linux (http://www.sophos.de/). It is provided by my university und I had it running under Ubuntu 10.04. But ufter purchasing a new computer and experiencing some difficulties with ubuntu, I switched to fedora 15. And now i can't get the on-access scanner "Talpa" to work.

so you want to look for ONLY Microsoft viruses that DO NOT run on fedora 15
and with SELinux set to "enforcing" COULD NOT even install IF they could run on fedora ( they can not )


WHY

use clam to look for the MICROSOFT viruses that might be in a "naughty" / untrusted "torrent" that is a Microsoft .exe " or a "Music.mp3.exe" for WINDOWS ONLY
if you are worried about giving a friend a WINDOWS ONLY virus


also fedora is a CUTTING EDGE distro
and in all likelihood WAY TOO NEW to run sophos
If you paid cash $$$ for it you "got taken " "got ripped off" or as the quote says " There is one born every minuet "

Microsoft viruses do not install on Linux
nor is is easy to install Linux "malicious software"( there are about 6 to 12 ) with SELinux set to enforcing .

I am unsubscribing to this thread

it you want to look for an installed MS virus on linux -- you will find none( they can not install) but go for it if you want

Hey,

I'm sorry, if I got on your nerves or anything. I am just looking for help. In my first sentence I said, what I was trying to do. I didn't pay for the software, i got it for free. For several reasons I must have a dualboot with windows. But as I allmost always boot linux, i want to install the scanner in linux. I know, that windows virus can't install on linux, and I know, that there aren't many existing virusses for Linux.

But nevertheless, I just asked for helb on a specific matter.

Sorry to bother!

Clamav and the database update "freshclam"
are in the fedora repos
calamav is one of the BEST
has one of the highest detection rates
and installs with a few typed words
in all likley hood fedora 15 IS WAY TO NEW to run sophos
That is a VERY common issue with fedora
Fedora is very often WAY TO NEW to run most non opensource code
too new for MOST "binary" installed programs
that glib2.11.1-1 looks like it is for fedora 11( fedora 12 uses 2.11.2) and NOT 15
and fedora 11 & 12 are "end of life"

Thank you everyone, especially John VV, for these infos. Until next time:-)

Best regards,
sgr.
