III.

Issue following command on command line

# ln -s /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libdb.so.2
If an error occurs stating that libdb.so.2 already exists, it may be from a previous 10.1.3
installation. In this case, either move the file for backup and create the symbolic link or
skip this step to see if the following problem occurs.
Without this symbolic link, httpd will give the following error:
httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.2:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
With this link in place, httpd should start up successfully in OEL 5.0 or RHEL 5.0

IV.

Install following RPMs using rpm command

xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386.rpm and
openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386.rpm

Commands are:

# rpm -i xorg-x11-libs-compat-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.1.i386.rpm
# rpm -i openmotif21-2.1.30-11.EL5.i386.rpm

After the RPM, is installed, you will also need to override the /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6 with the one
from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6. As root, issue the commands:
# mv /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6.ORG
Create a new symbolic link again using following command
# ln s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6 /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6
Note: Don't copy command, You have to type it manually.
