Issue/Introduction

AutoSys release notes indicates a libcrypt requirement

How do we check if a valid library is present?

Resolution

Perform a directory listing for libcrypt.so.*  in /usr/lib64  folder (we need a 64bit library) to verify that there is a file/softlink called libcrypt.so.1 pointing to a valid libcrypt.so library:

 

Example: 

ls -al /usr/lib64/libcrypt.so.*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     17 Aug 10  2021 /usr/lib64/libcrypt.so.1 -> libcrypt.so.1.1.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 201968 Aug 10  2021 /usr/lib64/libcrypt.so.1.1.0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     17 Aug 10  2021 /usr/lib64/libcrypt.so.2 -> libcrypt.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 201808 Aug 10  2021 /usr/lib64/libcrypt.so.2.0.0

Additional Information

If the file is not present, work with your system administrator to get it installed / configured properly.
