Description sakkanan 2008-12-26 11:46:23 UTC
Description of problem : 

Not able to execute 32 bit LSB application on x86_64 platform because of the absence of LSB dynamic loader, though I installed LSB package (redhat-lsb-3.1-12.3.EL.x86_64.rpm)

But OpenSuse LSB install package (lsb-3.0-19.x86_64.rpm) have symbolic link   for the 32 bit dynamic loader along with 64 bit òne

I did not aware of the LSB specification on the usage of 32 bit application on 64 bit with-in x86 family. But most of the 32 bit x86 application run under x86_64.

Hence 32 bit lsb dynamic loader should be part of the redhat-lsb package to enable 32 bit application usage. 

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install redhat-lsb package for x86_64 platform
2. Notice the absence of lsb 32 bit dynamic loader (/lib/ld-lsb.so.3)
3. call any 32 bit LSB executable
4. command not found error message 
5. create the symbolic link (ln -s ld-linux.so.2 ld-lsb.so.3)
6. call any 32 bit LSB executable.
  
Actual results:
Command not found error message 

Expected results:
Should be able to execute x86 32 bit LSB executable on x86_64 bit platform by installing x86_64 redhat-lsb package
