OS Version: RHEL5

Description: Can’t run nvgui in Red Hat EL5 - libXm.so.3 not found

Symptoms:
nvgui: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The NetVault GUI is a 32 bit application. On a 64 bit machine you will need to use openmotif version 2.2 (32 bit) and the required 32 bit dependencies “libXmu.so.6” and “libXp.so.6”.

If you have RHN access you can use yum to install what you need.
yum install libXp.so.6

To see what you have installed, use the following command:
rpm -q libXp libXmu openmotif22 --provides

libXp.so.6()(64bit)
libXp = 1.0.0-8
libXp.so.6
libXp = 1.0.0-8
libXmu.so.6()(64bit)
libXmuu.so.1()(64bit)
libXmu = 1.0.2-5
libXmu.so.6
libXmuu.so.1
libXmu = 1.0.2-5
libMrm.so.3
libUil.so.3
libXm.so.3
openmotif22 = 2.2.3-18
libMrm.so.3()(64bit)
libUil.so.3()(64bit)
libXm.so.3()(64bit)
openmotif22 = 2.2.3-18

64 bit versions will have (64bit) appended, while 32 bit versions will not.

Where to get the required packages:
openmotif 22-2.2.3-18.i386.rpm on RHEL5_x8664 CD 3
Dependencies
libXmu-1.0.2-5.i386.rpm on RHEL5_x8664CD 1
libXp-1.0.0-8.i386.rpm on RHEL5_x8664 CD 3

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 has two versions of openmotif, which contain the libXm library (openmotif 2.2 and openmotif 2.3). NetVault requires that openmotif version 2.2 be installed. To install it, go the location of openmotif22-2.2.3-18.i386.rpm on CD 3 and type this command.
rpm -i openmotif22-2.2.3-18.i386.rpm

If you are running 64bit Linux, there is a 32 bit and a 64 bit version on the CD. It is possible to install both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions, but the 32 bit version is what is required for nvgui and nvconfigurator.
