From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 Description of problem: Some necessary development 64-bit libraries are not available on the ppc64 release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. For example the following libraries are not available: /usr/lib64/libcrypto.a /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so /usr/lib64/libssl.a /usr/lib64/libssl.so A Red Hat engineer informs me that a openssl-devel-*.ppc64 package will need to be created (alongside openssl-devel-*.ppc). The package should be built something like rpmbuild --rebuild --target ppc64 openssl-devel*.src.rpm The request asks for that package to be created and made available. This is needed to successfully create 64-bit applications. Dennis. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssl-devel-0.9.7a-33.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. This is an enhancement request Additional info:
I filed four enhancement requests (for ppc64 packages), those packages were: e2fsprogs-devel krb5-devel openldap-devel openssl-devel The first request of which (e2fsprogs-devel) has been rejected by Bill Nottingham, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134188 Just making you guys aware of this. It may mean the closing of this request along similar lines. Note, without the above 64-bit development packages 64-bit binary production is made difficult. Dennis.
Only a limited set of development libraries are shipped on biarch platforms; generally, this is the LSB set. Bringing in openssl brings in openldap, krb5-libs, etc.; and at least some of these have headers that aren't wordsize clean, so they can't be installed together.
