Manully installing a shared library
I'm working with a 64 bit RedHat based Linux (Oracle EL 6.1).
[root@dbserver ~]# uname -r
2.6.32-100.34.1.el6uek.x86_64
I have extracted a 32 bit shared library from within a RPM (rpm2cpio xx.rpm | cpio -idmv) and copied it to /lib. Then ran the ldconfig to update the cache. I can see the symbolic link is created in /lib as well.
[root@testserver ~]# ldconfig -p | grep -i /lib/libexpat
libexpat.so.1 (libc6) => /lib/libexpat.so.1
[root@testserver ~]# cd /lib
[root@testserver lib]# ls -l libexpat*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Aug 19 12:53 libexpat.so.1 -> libexpat.so.1.5.2
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 160168 Aug 19 12:08 libexpat.so.1.5.2
However, when I want to install other 32-bit RPMs that depend on libexpat.so.1, it's reported as missing: libexpat.so.1 is needed by XXX.rpm
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
On a Centos 5.0 box, I have two versions of a library (sqlite):

(2) in /usr/local/lib that I installed myself by compiling from the source code.
My C++ program contains the following lines:

I am writing a shared library in Linux (but compatible with other UNIXes) and I want to allow multiple instances to share a piece of memory -- 1 byte is enough. What's the "best" way to do this? I want to optimize for speed and portability.
Obviously, I'll have to worry about mutual exclusion. (0 Replies)

scap-as-rpm - manual page for scap-as-rpm
DESCRIPTION
usage: scap-as-rpm [-h] [--pkg-name PKG_NAME] [--pkg-version PKG_VERSION]
[--pkg-release PKG_RELEASE] [--pkg-summary PKG_SUMMARY] [--pkg-license PKG_LICENSE] [--pkg-scap-location PKG_SCAP_LOCATION]
[--rpm-destination RPM_DESTINATION] [--srpm-destination SRPM_DESTINATION] FILE [FILE ...]
Takes given SCAP input(s) and makes an RPM package that contains them. The result RPM can be installed using # yum install ./pack-
age-name-1-1.rpm which will put the contents into /usr/share/xml/scap. No dependency on openscap or scapworkbench is enforced in the output
package so you can use any SCAP-capable scanner to evaluate the content.
positional arguments:
FILE List of files that should be put into the result package. These should be SCAP XML files but such requirement is not enforced.
optional arguments:
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
--pkg-name PKG_NAME
Name of the RPM package, if none is provided the basename of the first SCAP input is used. Ex.: xyzsecurity-guide
--pkg-version PKG_VERSION
--pkg-release PKG_RELEASE
--pkg-summary PKG_SUMMARY
Optional short description of the package.
--pkg-license PKG_LICENSE
Short name of the license that you want to publish the package under. Ex.: GPLv2+, BSD, ...
--pkg-scap-location PKG_SCAP_LOCATION
Folder where SCAP files are supposed to be installed. Each package will have its own folder inside this folder. RPM variables can
be used and will be expanded as usual. It is recommended to keep the default settings.
--rpm-destination RPM_DESTINATION
The folder (absolute or relative to CWD) where the result RPM shall be saved.
--srpm-destination SRPM_DESTINATION
The folder (absolute or relative to CWD) where the result SRPM shall be saved.
