Software Requirements

Before installing this product, you must have the following software installed on your computer:

• The pax archiving utility is required by the setup file. Pax is distributed with most UNIX/Linux systems but, if it is missing, you must install it separately. To verify pax is installed, run pax --help or pax --version at the command line.
• Required libraries for Red Hat and SUSE Linux platforms - The installer checks that both the 32-bit and 64-bit libraries listed below are installed on both 32-bit and on 64-bit Operating Systems for this product to install and work correctly.

  If installing on a 64-bit OS, the 32-bit libraries are not installed by default and must be installed before you start the installation.

  Library	32-bit Library Name	64-bit Library Name	Platform
  			s390	SUSE 11	SUSE 12	Red Hat 6.x	Red Hat 7
  glibc	glibc-*.i686	glibc-*.x86_64	glibc-*.s390			X	X
  libgcc	libgcc-*.i686	libgcc-*.x86_64	libgcc-*.s390			X	X
  libstdc++	libstdc++-*.i686	libstdc++-*.x86_64	libstdc++-*.s390			X	X
