Prerequisites for Apache Agent Installation on AIX

The Apache Agent installation requires the following libraries from the IBM-supported portals:

  • libstdc++10
  • libiconv (1.17)
  • coreutils (9.0)
  • jre (1.8 or later)

Run the following command to load the necessary libraries before starting the Apache Agent.

export LIBPATH=/opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.2.0.0/10/pthread:/usr/opt/freeware/lib:<agent-install-directory>/sdk_lib/lib

In the above command:

  • </opt/freeware/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix7.2.0.0/10/pthread> - Contains libstdc++.a or any directory where libstdc++ is installed. The aix7.2.0.0/10 directory can have multiple libstdc++.a libraries. Make sure to choose the library available in the /pthread directory.

  • </usr/opt/freeware/lib> - Contains libiconv.a.
  • <agent-install-directory>/sdk_lib/lib> - Contains libappdynamics_native_sdk.so and libzmq.a as the dependencies of libmod_appdynamics.so.
