Installing a 3rd party RPM package in Oracle Linux 7 OCI instance results in dependency errors:$ rpm -ivh agent.rpm --testwarning: agent.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA512 Signature, key ID e1051cbd: NOKEY
error: Failed dependencies: ld-linux-x86-64.so.2()(64bit) is needed by ds_agent-20.0.1-25771.ol7.x86_64
ld-linux-x86-64.so.2(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit) is needed by ds_agent-20.0.1-25771.ol7.x86_64
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.10)(64bit) is needed by ds_agent-20.0.1-25771.ol7.x86_64
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.11)(64bit) is needed by ds_agent-20.0.1-25771.ol7.x86_64
Cause
ld-linux-x86-64.so and libc.so are libraries included with Oracle Linux, so missing dependency errors for these packages are usually an indication of a major incompatibility.
