Description

After installing TIBCO Streaming on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 8 or CentOS 8, running some TIBCO Streaming command-line utilities fail.

Example:
 $ tibco/sb-cep/10.6/bin/sb-config --env tibco/sb-cep/10.6/bin/sb-config: error while loading shared libraries: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Issue/Introduction

On RHEL and CentOS, install libnsl using yum

Environment

RHEL 8, CentOS 8

Resolution

Some TIBCO Streaming command-line utilities depend on the package 'libnsl' which is not installed by default on these operating systems.

Install using command:
 $ sudo yum install libnsl
The yum install command may fail on a new install of RHEL 8 or CentOS 8 with errors:
  Failed to download metadata for repo
  Curl error (28): Timeout was reached

To resolve this, wait one minute and run the command again.

Success looks like this:
run of "sudo yum install libnsl" showing success
