Hi; As a prerequisite for IBM's db2 Viper they say: "For RHEL, all available compat-libstdc ++ RPM-packages must be installed."
Can anyone please advise how to achieve this quickly via yum? (64bit software running on 64bit centos 4.3.)
You may want to consult the man page for yum, and/or the documentation at http://centos.org/docs/4/ about yum.
yum list compat* will show you the available compat packages. Install the ones you need.
Thanks. I didn't know that I can use regex patterns for yum. It's much simpler now.
<pedantic> Actually, you can't.
That is not regex, but glob pattern.
glob : compat* regex: compat.*
The \ is just an escape because of the shell. </pedantic>
This is particularly important to point out since apt actually uses regex, while yum uses glob.
