External library and control command links to primary installation on UNIX and Linux

On UNIX and Linux platforms the primary installation is the one to which links from the /usr file system are made. However, only a subset of those links created with previous releases are now made.

No links are created from /usr/include to any installation and only links to external libraries and documented control commands are made from /usr/lib, and where appropriate, /usr/lib64 (external libraries) and /usr/bin (control commands).

In order to run these commands we must complete the following steps:
  1. provide a full path to the command in an available IBM MQ installation,
  2. use the setmqenv script to update your shell environment,
  3. manually add the bin directory from an IBM MQ installation directory to your PATH,
  4. run the setmqinst command as root to make one of our existing IBM MQ installations the primary installation.


External libraries

Links are made to the following external libraries, both 32-bit and 64-bit:

  • libmqm
  • libmqm_r
  • libmqmxa
  • libmqmxa_r
  • libmqmax
