Hi folks,

We use CentOS 5.2 (with latest errata) 64bit on DL380 G5 and trying to
install psp-8.11.rhel5.x86_64.en.tar.gz. After installing dependencies
(like kernel-devel, rpm-devel, etc):

# ./install811.sh
Saving user-defined agent thresholds...                     [ Done ]


Checking system for required packages...                    [ Done ]

./hpplduioss: error while loading shared libraries: libXi.so.6: cannot

Any idea how to troubleshoot and successfully install? Anybody running
PSP on ProLiant/CentOS?
Is there a ProLiant specific mailing list?
