On Windows and Linux systems, Software AG offers dedicated 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Broker Server. The 64-bit version is installed on 64-bit systems, while the 32-bit version is installed on 32-bit systems.

On Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX systems, Software AG offers 64-bit and 32-bit (LP32 Object Code) versions of the webMethods Broker C API. If you select the C API for installation, the installer installs both versions, in the Software AG_directory /Broker/lib and /lib32 directories, respectively.

If you are going to install on a Solaris 10 system, install the SUNWxcu4 package.

If you are going to install on a Solaris 11 system, install the system/xopen/xcu4 package.

If you are going to install on a Linux system, the library libcrypt.so must be present to support the security infrastructure, or the login using OS user names/authentication will not work. If you do not see the libcrypt.so file in the /usr/lib64 directory for Linux x86_64, or /usr/lib for Linux x86, install the rpm package glibc-devel.

If you are going to install on a Linux x86_64 system, install the rpm package compat-libstdc++ from your operating system distribution using the vendor instructions.
