Preparing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 for installation

You might have to complete additional steps to prepare a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 12 system for a WebSphere Application Server installation.

Before you begin

Complete all steps in Preparing Linux systems for installation. Those steps are common to any Linux system.

For information about the WebSphere Application Server offerings that support the POWER® Little Endian (LE) architecture, see WebSphere Application Server product offerings for supported operating systems.

Procedure

Verify that the appropriate library package or packages exist on your SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 12 operating system.
To install all packages that the product requires, run the following command:
```
zypper install libgtk-3-0 libXtst
```
Avoid Trouble: If you plan to use the Profile Management Tool (PMT), you can encounter issues using GTK+ 3.0. For more information, see Managing profiles by using the graphical user interface.
For Edge Caching Proxy, install the following package:
```
libstdc++6-32bit compat-listdc++33-32bit
```
This package requires the SLE-Module-Legacy product repository.
For POWER Little Endian (LE), review the following platform-specific limitations:
- Edge Caching Proxy is not supported on this architecture.
- Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6 components Content Based Routing (CBR) and Site Selector are not supported.
