Hello;

we have a 64 bits Red Hat 4 AS server:
        OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 7)
Kernel:Linux 2.6.9-78.0.13.ELlargesmp #1 SMP Wed Jan 7 18:02:41 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

We try update networker version from 7.3.3 to 7.4.4, the problem is a dependenci problem:

# rpm -ivh lgtoman-7.4.4-1.x86_64.rpm lgtoclnt-7.4.4-1.x86_64.rpm
lgtonode-7.4.4-1.x86_64.rpm lgtoserv-7.4.4-1.x86_64.rpm lgtonmc-3.4.4-1.i686.rpm
error: Error de dependencias:
        libstdc++.so.5()(64bit) se necesita para lgtoclnt-7.4.4-1.x86_64
libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2)(64bit) se necesita para lgtoclnt-7.4.4-1.x86_64 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2)(64bit) se necesita para lgtoclnt-7.4.4-1.x86_64

Resolución sugerida:
        /var/spool/up2datecompat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.3.x86_64.rpm
#

we have installed 32 bits library and we could install the 64 bits library.

But reading release notes:
"""
Running the Linux 64-bit package with the 2.6.x kernel may result in crashes (
LGTsc06585 )
A compatibility issue with libc and pthreads libraries on Linux 2.6 kernel-based
environments causes problems when running the 64-bit package for Linux on
platforms built on the 2.6.x kernel (for example, RedHat AS 4 and SuSE SLES 9).
Although operation may be normal at first, continued use of the 64-bit package
with a 2.6.x kernel may result in crashes of various programs.
Use the 32-bit package when running with a 2.6.x kernel. Running a 32-bit package instead of the 64-bit package should have no operational impact. The 64-bit package can still be used for kernel version 2.4 Linux variants such as RedHat AS 3 and SuSE SLES 8.
"""

Should we install the 32 bits networker version, which implies that?
Anybody know when this error occurs? In all red hat 64 bits or sometimes?

Regards and Excuse me my english ;
