Linux-UNIX: Database version and directory requirements

Review these database releases, patch level components, and directories, before you install an S-TAP or any associated agent.

Table 1. Linux, Solaris, AIX and HP-UX database versions requirements
DB Type	Version
Linux	make version 3.81 or later. To view your version of the make utility, run the command: `make -v`
Oracle ASO, HP-UX 11.11	LD_PRELOAD must be installed. It is installed by patch PHSS_28436 or later.
TLS	For S-TAP on a server, either /dev/random or /dev/urandom must be present on the server. See the TLS port requirements in Linux-UNIX: Port requirements for S-TAP.

Note: A root user that installs GIM or S-TAP needs permissions to create and delete users and groups.
