I am trying to install real server 8. It installed without any issues on a
RaQ 550 and a RaQ 4. However, now that we are running a new kernel, we are
having issues installing. The first issue is that it complained as such:
[root (at mark) juhfah real]# ./rs8-0-linux-libc6.bin
./rs8-0-linux-libc6.bin: error while loading shared libraries:
libstdc++.so.2.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So, I decided to create a symbolic link which solved that issue:
[root (at mark) juhfah real]# ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.3
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8
[root (at mark) juhfah real]# ./rs8-0-linux-libc6.bin
./rs8-0-linux-libc6.bin: symbol lookup error: ./rs8-0-linux-libc6.bin:
undefined symbol: __eh_pc
But as you can see, I ran into the undefined symbol issue. Searching google
helped me to find out that this was not an uncommon issue. However, there
seemed to be no great answer save one fellow suggested something that I
don't quite know how to do, however, it did make the most sense:
"Or you could download the statically linked binary, which works beautifully
on my "modern" system: Slackware 10.0, Kernel 2.6.8.1"
So, I guess my question, is there anyone who is pretty good at this library
stuff help me build a statically linked library that hopefully will help me
overcome this issue.
The alternative to this is to upgrade to the latest Real Server which is the
Helix Server. That is an expensive option ($3000 for 25 streams and who
knows what for 100 streams). We are already licensed at the cheaper Real
Server 8 for 60 streams (yeah so what it is an old license it is still
valid). The bad thing is that Real Networks has crappy (expensive) support.
I don't mind paying a little but I do mind paying a lot for this help.
