(This problem affects Sun Learning. We are building a self-study course in which students install NetBeans with AS 9.0U1 on their own systems and then use it in labs.) Installation of NetBeans 5.5.1 w/App Server 9.0 U1 on Fedora Core 6 is unsuccessful. NetBeans IDE installs OK but the app server doesn't. The installer creates /home/david/SUNWappserver but there are no files in it. When I look at as-install.log as recommended by the installer after the installation failure, I see: Executing the following command: /home/david/netbeans-5.5.1/_uninst/sjsas_pe-9_0_01-p01-bin-b02-linux-23_nov_2006.bin -javahome /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_01 -tmpdir /tmp -silent /home/david/netbeans-5.5.1/_uninst/statefile /home/david/netbeans-5.5.1/_uninst/sjsas_pe-9_0_01-p01-bin-b02-linux-23_nov_2006.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory exitcode = 127 (Fri Jun 1 10:04:38 PDT 2007) Finished Installing Appserver8.. I have /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 on my system but not /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5. Maybe that's the root of my problems, but I didn't see any restrictions in the NetBeans docs about this. Can anyone provide a workaround or point me to docs with OS restrictions for this product, or RPMs I need to install to get it to work? Thanks, David
You need compat libs for FC6 (these are not installed by default on FC6). AS installer contains some native code compiled against old libs. When you use Google and search for "compat libstdc++ FC6". See eg. http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc6.html#compat
Missing gcc compat libs.
Let me know if this is enough info for you or you need more details. yum is preferred way to keep system updated and install new packages. It should know about software repository so you need not search for package rpms.
