IBM IseriesAccess install issue

[ltodd2]

Can anyone help me here. Im trying to install iseriesaccess for linux. I've had to use the i386 version and the 64bit says it has not 5250 emulator which is the reason im installing it.

I have had a good look and cant get it to solve these dependencies. Has anyone else tried and got this working?

[ltodd2@zeus Downloads]$ rpm -ivh iSeriesAccess-5.4.0-1.6.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libodbcinst.so.1 is needed by iSeriesAccess-5.4.0-1.6.i386
libodbc.so.1 is needed by iSeriesAccess-5.4.0-1.6.i386

Thanks

Looking at those missing deps, you would probably need to be running FC3 or FC4 to provide those. The rpm package you're trying to install is just too old. I'm still back in F12 32 bit, and don't even come close to fulfilling the deps you posted above. Try the following on your system and compare:

rpm -q --provides libstdc++

libodbcinst.so.* would be provided by package unixODBC
libXm.so.* would be provided by package openmotif

...but you won't get the old version specification of those being called for from your current repos.

I've had not luck with this but did find a java client from http://tn5250j.sourceforge.net/ which seems to work. Well it does what I need

there is also tn5250 in the fedora repo.

yum install tn5250

Thanks, I have it but the screen is so small its unusable. I have not found a way to make it bigger so gave up with it. I have the x3270 and that seems to work ok
