Hi -

I am installing PAM 32 BIT on RHEL 6.2. The 64 bit packages -pam-1.1.1-10.el6_2.1.x86_64.rpm & pam-devel-1.1.1-10.el6_2.1.x86_64.rpm are already installed. 32 bit install fails due to missing libraries. See error msgs below. Troubleshooting:
1. Found missing libraries in /lib64
2. ran ldconfig -v
3. still can't install
4. created softlinks to missing libraries in /usr/lib and /lib directories
5. Still can't install

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for your help.

what are you missing
??
lets see
you do NOT install software on RHEL6 using RPM unless there is NO other option , and as THE VERY LAST resort

there is a REASON that "yum" is installed -- USE IT !
install the pam-devel from the RHN repo

Hi John,

Yes, I know to use YUM, I wish it was that simple. I tried yum first, but it doesn't work for me. This server has no access to the internet for direct downloads. It was loaded by the host service and they provide NO support other than to reimage from scratch. Also, internet access at this location is extremely limited. Can't download from rpmfind, for example - access is blocked.

I have downloaded the RHEL 6.2 disks, but these don't have the latest version of PAM. I need to know the prerequisite packages for

pam-1.1.1-10.el6_2.1.i686.rpm and pam-devel-1.1.1-10.el6_2.1.i686.rpm

Any assistance will be appreciated.

# yum search pam

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Thanks,

well you will then have to download and put on a disk EVERY one of those mising dependencies
AND EVERY dependency for the dependencies

a 1 min. operation is going to turn into a 3 week process

you will have to also install all of these FIRST

but from your description of your hosting company
you are basically out of luck

??? then what is it used for ? with no outside access

only a internal lan IN THE building that YOU are in
if so then you should have physical access ( but then you would be your own host)

call red hat tech support
RHEL6 is a OS that you MUST pay for a support contract for

they can direct you to the repo that you can then download the need prerequisites needed
so you can burn them to a disk

If your system does not have internet access, I would create a local repo and populate it from the relevant isos; (you might want to get the 6.3 set), which you can get from the RH site.
https://code.google.com/p/iredmail/w...Yum_Repository & tweak the system to use those repos instead of trying to get to the net.
