Description of problem: OS: RHEL AS,WS,ES 3 Update 3 - IPF On above version of EL we found a problem with stdc++ library link not being present. The c++ library libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 is not present on the system. Thus any binary linked to this will fail to run. Application linked to this library gives the message: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory But the strange thing is 'rpm -q --whatprovides libstdc++-libc6.1- 1.so.2' shows that the library is present on the system in compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.128 package. #rpm -q --whatprovides libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.128 Yes, the library libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so exists with the above package but the link to the libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 is not present which it should be. I believe this is a problem with installation scripts. When I searched the dtabse I found a bug number 111716 which is reported on the base release, I guess. This bug has an answer saying it is resolved in update 2. But the update 3 this problem still exists. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.3-2.96.128 How reproducible: Run ls command under /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/ for the above library. Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/ 2. ls libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 3. Actual results: Expected results: Link should be present as the actual librtary is different. Additional info:
Are you sure you have glibc-2.3.2-95.27 or later installed? The link should be created by ldconfig, which since -95.27 should walk through /emu/ia32-linux/usr/lib and other directories.
We have the update 3 CDs for RHEL 3. When we installed we have glibc- 2.3.2-95.24 (got from the rpm query). Then, why is this package not included in the Update 3 CDs? i.e., ISO image of Update 3 does not contain the newer glibc you have mentioned. We cannot ask customers to download this separately and install on their system. Or how can a subscriber get this package?
AFAIK RHEL3 U3 comes with glibc-2.3.3-95.27. https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2004-384.html 2.3.2-95.24 could be RHEL3 U3 beta, but certainly not U3 final CD. If you have this problem with RHEL3 U3 glibc, please reopen.
