The following chart shows what components of Audit can be installed depending upon the machine architecture and eDirectory installed.

When we install the Audit server on a 64-bit machine, it will be installed as a 32-bit application but it requires the eDirectory and ntls library of 32-bit. If you don't have these libraries the installation fails with the error message below:

This error is because auditext needs to load the MDB drivers and intern these drivers refer to 32-bit eDirectory libraries and 32-bit ntls libraries.

To fix this issue follow the simple steps below:

1. Copy eDirectory and ntls libraries of 32-bit
2. Point your LD_32LIBRARY_PATH to these libraries
   

   $export LD_32LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/edir/libs:/path/to/ntls/libs

3. Run ndspath script
   

   $ . /opt/novell/eDirectory/bin/ndspath

4. Start Audit installation
   

   ./pinstall.lin

5. After installation please modify the Audit run script (/etc/init.d/novell-naudit) as follows:
   Search these lines below and add your edir and ntls library path.

   if [ -z "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ] ;
   then
      LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/ADD_YOUR_32_BIT_EDIR_NTLS_LIBS_PATH:/usr/lib:/opt/novell/
   naudit:/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib:/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/nds-modules:/opt/novell/lib
   else
      LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/ADD_YOUR_32_BIT_EDIR_NTLS_LIBS_PATH:/usr/lib:/opt/novell/
   naudit:/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib:/opt/novell/eDirectory/lib/nds-modules:/opt/novell/lib:
   $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   fi
   

Please note that when you are installing the Novel Audit on 64-bit with 64-bit eDirectory, the Platform Agent and the eDirectory Instrumentation will not be installed.

The Platform Agent and eDirectory Instrumentation for 64-bit is separately available.
