Part 1: Getting Started : Using The Product : Environment-Specific Information : For UNIX and Linux Users : 64-Bit Drivers
  
64-Bit Drivers
All required network software that is supplied by your database system vendors must be 64-bit compliant.
*For the Salesforce driver: A 64-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), J2SE 5 or higher, is required. Also, you must set the library path environment variable of your operating system to the directory containing your JVM’s libjvm.so [sl | a] file and that directory’s parent directory.
*The library path environment variable is:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux, HP-UX Itanium, and Oracle Solaris
LIBPATH on AIX
AIX
*IBM POWER Processor
*AIX 5L operating system, version version 5.3 fixpack 5 and higher,6.1, and 7.1
*An application compatible with components that were built using Visual Age C++ version 6.0.0.0 and the AIX native threading model
Note: SALESFORCE USERS: When compiling an application on AIX for use with the driver for Salesforce, you must not use the -brtl option.
HP-UX
*Intel Itanium II (IPF) processor
*HP-UX IPF 11i operating system, Versions 2 and 3 (B.11.23 and B.11.31)
*HP aC++ v. 5.36 and the HP-UX 11 native (kernel) threading model (posix draft 10 threads)
The following drivers are supported on IPF:
DataDirect Connect64 for ODBC drivers
*DB2 Wire Protocol
*Informix Wire Protocol
*MySQL Wire Protocol
*Oracle Wire Protocol
*PostgreSQL Wire Protocol
*Progress OpenEdge Wire Protocol
*SQL Server Wire Protocol
*Sybase Wire Protocol
*Oracle
*SQL Server Legacy Wire Protocol
DataDirect Connect64 XE for ODBC drivers
*Driver for Apache Hive
*Greenplum Wire Protocol
*Impala Wire Protocol
*Salesforce
*Sybase IQ Wire Protocol
*Teradata
NOTES FOR SALESFORCE:
*Do not link with the –lc linker option.
*Set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the libjvm.so of your JVM installation.
Linux
*The following processors are supported:
Intel Itanium II (IPF)
x64: Intel and AMD
*The following operating systems are supported:
For Itanium II: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, ES, and WS versions 4.x, 5.x, and 6x
For x64: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, ES, and WS version 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x
Note: The Oracle (client) driver is not supported on the Red Hat x64 operating system.
For x64: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.x, 11, and 12
*For Itanium II: an application compatible with components that were built using g++ GNU project C++ Compiler version 3.3.2 and the Linux native pthread threading model (Linuxthreads)
*For x64: an application compatible with components that were built using g++ GNU project C++ Compiler version 3.4 and the Linux native pthread threading model (Linuxthreads)
Note: The Greenplum Wire Protocol driver is the only Connect XE driver supported on Linux Itanium. II.
Oracle Solaris
*The following processors are supported:
Oracle SPARC
x64: Intel and AMD
*The following operating systems are supported:
For Oracle SPARC: OracleSolaris 8, 9, 10, and 11.x
For x64: OracleSolaris 10 and Oracle Solaris 11.x Express
*For Oracle SPARC: An application compatible with components that were built using Oracle Workshop v. 6 update 2 and the Solaris native (kernel) threading model
*For x64: An application compatible with components that were built using Oracle C++ Compiler version 5.8 and the Solaris native (kernel) threading model
All of the standard 32-bit UNIX drivers are supported on Solaris SPARC. For x64,The following drivers are supported for Oracle Solaris:
