| Graphical desktop environments | KDE Gnome Unity | |||
| Other environmental requirements | >Glibc Any operating system that runs glibc earlier than 2.6 is not supported. >i686-based dependent packages on 64-bit computers Many of the executable files in the Linux client are 32-bit programs. For 64-bit computers, you must install the i686-based dependent packages before you install the Linux client. If you have not already installed the i686-based dependent packages, you can install them by command line. This installation requires superuser privileges, which the following commands demonstrate with sudo: For Red Hat-based distributions: sudo yum install glibc.i686 libgcc.i686 libX11.i686 For Debian-based distributions: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs For Ubuntu-based distributions: sudo apt-get install libx11-6:i386 libgcc1:i386 libc6:i386 --> net-tools or iproute2 Symantec Endpoint Protection uses one of these two tools, depending on what is already installed on the computer. |
