Description

The glibc.i686 package is required for the Charon-AXP, Charon-VAX, Charon-SSP and Charon-HPA products. When connected to the Internet, and – for Red Hat Enterprise Linux – registered, this package can be installed as described in the product documentation. Usually the following command is used:

When an Internet connection is not available, or if a server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not registered, this package can be installed using the operating system installation DVD or ISO file.

This document explains how to install the package from the installation DVD for the following Linux distributions:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x and 7.x

• CentOS 7.x - Everything distribution DVD only.
  The Standard distribution DVD of CentOS 7.x does not contain the glibc.i686 package so the Everything distribution DVD is mandatory if no internet connection is available.

There are several different solutions for installing glibc.i686 without Internet connection. This document explains some of them. For more information, please contact your system administrator or refer to the administrator's guide for the Linux distribution installed on your Charon host system.

Installation steps

Mounting the DVD

Please either insert the installation DVD in the drive or use an ISO file.

If the DVD is mounted automatically, we recommend to unmount it and mount it manually on a mount point with no spaces in its name (the yum-config-manager utility does not handle spaces correctly).
