<main> <article class="userContent"> <p><strong>QUESTION</strong></p> <p>What are the pre-requisites for installing Traverse?</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>RESOLUTION</strong></p> <p><strong>Linux Installations</strong><br>Some 64-bit Linux host operating systems don't install 32-bit compatibility libraries by default. Traverse runs on 64-bit systems, but needs the 32-bit compatibility libraries installed. The name of the 32-bit compatibility package varies across Linux distributions. See your distribution's documentation or Web site to determine the 32-bit compatibility package for your distribution</p> <p>Perl version 5.8 or above (should be included by default) is required. Traverse also requires three specific libraries in addition to the Traverse installer files:</p> <p>libXp.so.6<br>libstdc++.so.5<br>libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3<br>The required RPMs to install for these libraries changes depending on which version of RedHat Enterprise/CentOS is in use. To determine the correct RPM for your platform, you can use the "rpm" command:</p> <p>Code:<br>rpm -q --whatprovides $filename</p> <p><br>Where $filename is the library, e.g. libXp.so.6. Example session on CentOS 5:</p> <p>Code:<br>[root@host ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides libXp.so.6<br>libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5</p> <p><br>Generally the required packages are compat-libstdc++-33, compat-libstdc++-296, and for libXp.so it may be either libXp, or xorg-x11-deprecated-libs, depending on the OS version.</p> <p><strong>Windows Installations</strong><br>On Windows, Traverse requires no pre-requisites and will install all needed packages and files from the Traverse installer.</p> <p>See the Traverse User Guide, Software Requirements for Unix/Linux Platforms for additional details.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>APPLIES TO </strong></p> <p>All versions of Traverse</p> <p><strong>REFERENCE </strong></p> <p>None</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </article> </main>
