Symptom

Encountering 'error while loading shared libraries: libnsl.so.1' using a new ITX Runtime and Monitoring installation.

Cause

libnsl.so.1 is not installed in Red Hat Linux release 8.0 by default.

Diagnosing The Problem

After a new installation the following error is encountered after running the ITX setup script and trying to run the ITX Command Server.
dtxcmdsv: error while loading shared libraries: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Resolving The Problem

Install libnsl.
After successful installation, you can see /usr/lib64/libnsl.so.1.
