Troubleshooting


Problem

If the 32-bit libstdc++ and glibc-devel packages are not installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6), error messages are generated when configuring XL C/C++ for Linux or XL Fortran for Linux compilers supporting RHEL6.

Symptom

If the 32-bit libstdc++ and glibc-devel packages are not installed on your RHEL6 system, you might see the following error messages when configuring XL C/C++ for Linux or XL Fortran for Linux compilers on RHEL6.

When using xlc_install or new_install to configure the compiler, the following message is generated:
lap/lapc: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ERROR: License NOT accepted.
ERROR: Default compiler configuration file could not be generated.

When using vac_configure to configure the compiler, the following message is generated:


ERROR: Could not obtain "/usr/bin/gcc -m32" -v output.  Ensure you have both 32-bit and 64-bit GCC installed from your operating system install media.
