Problem IT36031 Status: Closed

RHEL 8 INSTALLGSKIT DOES NOT INSTALL CORRECTLY IF EXISTING PREVIOUS
VERSION

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / E10 - 
Problem description:
On RHEL8 with an existing installation with GSKit 8.0.50.89,
installgskit doesn't install correctly, if customer ignores this
installation error
you'll see at startup following message:

initialization of libisi.so.2 failed
expected GSKit version: 8.0.55.12, but found 8.0.50.89

And

the symlink for $INFORMIXDIR/lib/libisi.so.2 is not created.

ln -s $INFORMIXDIR/lib/libisi_gsk.so.2.0
$INFORMIXDIR/lib/libisi.so.2  (this is needed)

While trying to installgskit from the $INFORMIXDIR/gskit
distributed  with products you'll see:

From : $INFORMIXDIR/tmp/gskit.log

Either GSKit package is already installed or an error occurred
during RPM package installation.

So, in order to overcome this situation it needs to be run as:

cd /opt/IBM/informix14/gskit
tar xvf gskssl64-8.0.55.17.linux.x86_64.tar
tar xvf gskcrypt64-8.0.55.17.linux.x86_64.tar
rpm -ivh --nodigest --noverify --nosignature
gskcrypt64-8.0.55.17.linux.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh --nodigest --noverify --nosignature
gskcrypt64-8.0.55.17.linux.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh --nofiledigest --nodigest --noverify --nosignature
gskcrypt64-8.0.55.17.linux.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh --nofiledigest --nodigest --noverify --nosignature
gskssl64-8.0.55.17.linux.x86_64.rpm

A side note is that while the GSKit is showing the errors,
edition will always show DE no matter if xx_edition.jar is
installed.

After the GSKit issue is resolved it'll show the correct edition
