Skipping incompatile libopsec.so in RHEL 6.8

[ThreatHunterDiary]

I am having similar problem to #1 in RHEL 6.8.

when I run make it gives below error.

/usr/bin/gcc -m64 -g -Wall -fpic -DLINUX -DUNIXOS=1 -DDEBUG -LOPSEC_SDK/pkg_rel/lib/release.dynamic -o fw1-loggrabber thread.o queue.o fw1-loggrabber.o -lopsec -lcpprod50 -lsicauth -lskey -lfwsetdb -lndb -lsic -lcp_policy -lcpca -lckpssl -lcpcert -lcpcryptutil -lEncode -lcpprng -lProdUtils -lcpbcrypt -lcpopenssl -lAppUtils -lComUtils -lResolve -lEventUtils -lDataStruct -lOS -lpthread -lresolv -ldl -lnsl -lelf -lstdc++ -lz

Hello @jet1276,
are you on RHEL 32bits or 64bits? What is the output of the uname -mrs command?

Hi @adepasquale.

I am on 64bit and the output of the said command is
Linux 2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64 x86_64

Thanks @jet1276,
Checkpoint provides 32bit libraries only. That's why in fw1-loggrabber Makefile we have this option:

CFLAGS += -m32 -g -Wall -fpic -DLINUX -DUNIXOS=1 -DDEBUG

If you haven't changed that line in the Makefile, then I have no idea why RHEL ignores that flag and uses -m64. Let me know and I will eventually investigate.

Yes I have changed flag to -m64, that is because there was some errors coming regarding 32 bit and I did not understood it.

After i changed it to 64 that error was gone and some new error came and so on. And lastly I was stuck at this error.

After you asked for this I thought I'll again change it to -m32 and show you the error was coming. So I changed it to -m32. But this time there was some new error.

So what I did is that I extracted fw1-loggrabber in a new folder and then tried to run make. But surprisingly there came the error of #1 and the error which was coming previously didn't come.

So I solved it and similar error came for all the libraries. Once I installed all the libraries and then tried make.
It gave me this error:`

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libpam.so.0, needed by OPSEC_SDK/pkg_rel/lib/release.dynamic/libopsec.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

`

So i tried make -rpath.
It gave an error like
make: invalid option -- 'a'
But it also generated make database.

And I successfully ran make install

Thank you so much for your help. @adepasquale

The libpam.so.0 error might be related to the fact that the 32-bit version of libpam is not installed.

Nice to know that you solved the issue anyway. Can we close the issue?
