That is only for 64bit (x86_64) installations. At least that's what the description says.
Before you begin
If you are installing VirusScan Enterprise for Linux on a 64‐bit Ubuntu system, ensure that
you perform these steps before installation:
I did a normal 32bit (i686) installation.
I took to long to answer. It stays, no harm done.
Sooo, after some testing I found a rather nasty workaround for this issue.
- If you run "ldconfig" (or some system upgrade/script) after the Installation of McAfee VSE 1.9.0 on Ubuntu 12.04.03 it crashes your symlinks to the linux loader and you really can't execute anything anymore
- DO NOT RESTART YOUR SYSTEM AFTER RUNNING LDCONFIG. It's fubar after that.
- How you recognize that ldconfig ran: Basic commands like "ls" don't work anymore (library error)
- "ln -s -f /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ld-2.15.so /lib/ld-linux.so.2" saves the day!
- Only tested on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04.03 installation.
- ln -s -f /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ld-2.15.so /lib/ld-linux.so.2 //recreate correct symlink for linux loader
- /etc/init.d/nails stop
- /etc/init.d/cma stop
- mv /lib/ld-mfert.so.2 /lib/mfert.so.2 //deactivate mfert linux loader
Activate McAfee again
- mv /lib/mfert.so.2 /lib/ld-mfert.so.2 // activate mfert linux loader
- /etc/init.d/cma start
- /etc/init.d/nails start
Why on earth does someone develope something f*cked up like that?
