GSKit V8 version details

GSKit V8 version details on Linux are listed below for reference. Continuing the previous blog entry, after GSKit v8 installation, if you would like to know the version information, below commands are for reference.

a. Query the system registry with rpm command to find the v.r.m.f info

==> rpm -qa | egrep “gskcrypt|gskssl”
gskssl64-8.0-14.26
gskssl32-8.0-14.26

gskcrypt32-8.0-14.26
gskcrypt64-8.0-14.26

Where gskssl64 and gskcrypt64 are the rpm names for 64 bit gskit V8 and gskssl32 and gskcrypt32 are the rpm names for 32 bit gskit V8.

b. Find finer details of GSKit components using “gsk8ver” or “gsk8ver_64” commands:

For 32 bit GSKit:
==> gsk8ver

For 64 bit GSKit:
==> gsk8ver_64

The above two commands have soft links in the /usr/bin/ folder leading into the GSKit install location.
==> ls -l `which gsk8ver gsk8ver_64`

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 31 Dec 10 11:38 /bin/gsk8ver -> /usr/local/ibm/gsk8/bin/gsk8ver
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 37 Dec 10 11:38 /bin/gsk8ver_64 -> /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/bin/gsk8ver_64

c. Install location of GSKit V8 on Linux (as shown from above screenshot):

For 32 bit GSKit : /usr/local/ibm/gsk8/
For 64 bit GSKit : /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/
