Symantec NetBackup Media Server Encryption Option (MSEO) – Redhat Enterprise 5 Install Fails

Recently I got this message while trying to install the NetBackup MSEO Security Server on a Redhat Enterprise 5 x64 server:

error: Failed dependencies: libXp.so.6 is needed by mseo-server-6.1.3-rhel5.x86_64

After multiple troubleshooting attempts, we finally we able to get past it by performing an install of the “libXp.so.6” 32 bit binary. We already installed the 64 bit binary (as that is what the operating system was) however we would get the same error during installation of MSEO.

We ran:
yum install libXp.so.6

And then the install proceeded!
