RHEL 5 Installation

Does anyone have the installation procedure for the Flash Media Server on Redhat Enterprise 5. My platform is x86_64, but I assume I need the i386 libstdc++ or is it saying I cannot run it at all on 64 bit RHEL?

Error message below:

./fmsini: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ERROR: Your are running the Macromedia Flash Media Server installer
on the wrong platform.

    #yum install libstdc++.so.5

    That'll install the compat-libstdc++ package.

    the compat-libstdc++ does fix the missing c++ library error message above, but the install script still complains:

    ERROR: Your distribution, unknown, is not supported by this
    Macromedia Flash Media Server installer.


    So, do we hack the install script or is there another solution?

    here is the solution:

    ./installFMS -platformWarnOnly

    this allows the install to proceed normally and on my RHEL5.1 it installed smoothly. I have not tested it yet, but the FMS service started fine or so it appears from the lack of error messages in the log.

    as rhel5 isn't quite supported yet, I can only _suggest_ that this _might_ work.

    try getting the compat-libstdc++ rpm.

    Good luck.
