If you’re using CentOS, or another RedHat style Linux that happens to include the yum package manager, installing NetWorker on Linux becomes trivial, even when dependencies aren’t locally on the machine.<\/p>\n
For example, on a new host install (particularly one with minimum graphics), it’s common to get an error such as the following:<\/p>\n
[root@rhltst7 linux_x86]# rpm -ivh lgtoclnt-7.5.1-1.i686.rpm lgtoman-7.5.1-1.i686.rpm\nerror: Failed dependencies:\n openmotif is needed by lgtoclnt-7.5.1-1.i686\n libXp.so.6 is needed by lgtoclnt-7.5.1-1.i686\n libstdc++.so.5 is needed by lgtoclnt-7.5.1-1.i686\n libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by lgtoclnt-7.5.1-1.i686\n libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by lgtoclnt-7.5.1-1.i686\n libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2.2) is needed by lgtoclnt-7.5.1-1.i686<\/pre>\nLuckily, if you’re using yum, there’s a simple way around it, using the ‘localinstall’ option. Note however that by using ‘localinstall’ with yum, you’ll also need to add in the ‘–nogpgcheck’, as the EMC packages aren’t signed. (Failing to do so will result in the installation aborting with an error message about non-signed packages.)<\/p>\n
Here’s what a successful install looks like:<\/p>\n
