I need to update an IBM 8k controller driver on ESX 3.0/3.5. IBM states that you need to have Perl, rpm-build, and rpm-lib installed in order for the update to work.
Currently have:
Perl v5.8.0
RPM build v.4.2.3-26
Is rpm-lib a part of RPM build or is it a separate install?
Thanks.
Hi Cmjbathome33,
If you run "rpm -qa" in your console, you should find an independent "rpm-libs" package, as mentioned in this document for example:
Good luck.
Regards
Franck
The problem is rpm-build... this usually mean gcc and a lot of stuff to compile source code.
PS: thread has been moved to ESX area.

Running that command reveals the following:
Perl v5.8.0
RPM build v.4.2.3-26
rpm-libs-4.2.3-26vmw
So it appears I have everything I need, correct?
