Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.8 for the Intel Itanium2 Architecture.
Insert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Extras CD, which contains the ia32el
package.
After the system has mounted the CD, change to the directory containing the Extras packages. For example:
cd /media/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/
Install the ia32el
and ksh
packages:
rpm -Uvh ia32el-<version>.ia64.rpm ksh-<version>.ia64.rpm
where <version> is the respective versions of the ia32el
and ksh
packages to be installed.
Eject the Extras CD:
eject /media/cdrom
To verify the installation of the 32-bit compatibility layer and libraries after installation, confirm if the /emul
directory exists and contains files.
To verify that the 32-bit compatibility mode is in effect, type the following in a shell prompt:
service ia32el status
At this point you can install compatibility libraries by inserting the 32-bit Compatibility Layer disc. You may choose to install all of the packages available on the disc or choose the particular packages required in order to provide runtime support for your 32-bit applications.
