Support for Raspberry Pi 4 (arm64)

[AntonioTrindade]

The IBM MQ for Raspberry Pi is not compatible with the arm64 architechture (Raspberry Pi 4).

Is it possible to provide such a version?

Thank you.

Hi Antonio,

Thanks for your comment. We're looking into this; can you provide some more details about how you're using MQ?

What OS are you using?

Note: We have successfully tested a 32 bit queue manager on a 64-bit architecture when we released the build

Hi Antonio,

Could this be specific to your environment? What operation were you attempting to perform when you encountered the problem and what error was reported?

In my current setup, Raspberry Pi OS (previously called Raspbian) is running in 32 bit mode (32 bit install of Raspberry Pi OS). The 64 bit version of Raspberry Pi OS still seems to be in an early beta.

This is an ARMv8, not v7 like the RPi 3 and older. In the MQ for Raspberry Pi distribution, the only packages available are for the armv7 architecture.

I am using MQ professionally in AIX, Linux and Solaris. I'm a professional MQ administrator. I'm also, on a non professional level, an IoT curious.

The Raspberry Pi would be another platform to test MQ on.

Regards, António

From your output, it looks as though you are running Ubuntu (64bit) on a Raspberry Pi4. I am running Raspberry Pi OS (previously called Raspbian) on a Raspberry Pi4.

Regarding my previous question: What operation were you attempting to perform when you encountered the problem and what error was reported?

From your statement, the implication is that no commands run correctly. What error are you getting, presumably something relating to libraries not being found?

Jonathan, following is the output from the mqlicense.sh script:

./mqlicense.sh

Hope this helps.

I edited the mqlicense.sh script to remove the architecture check and added the -jre option to specify the JRE location and was able to make it accept the license. Afterwards, I tried installing the DEB files, resulting in the following output: $ dpkg -i ibmmq-runtime_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-sdk_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-server_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-man_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-amqp_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-client_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-gskit_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-java_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-jre_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-samples_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-web_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb dpkg: error processing archive ibmmq-runtime_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64) dpkg: error processing archive ibmmq-sdk_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64) dpkg: error processing archive ibmmq-server_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64) dpkg: error processing archive ibmmq-man_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64) dpkg: error processing archive ibmmq-amqp_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64) dpkg: error processing archive ibmmq-client_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64) dpkg: error processing archive ibmmq-gskit_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64) dpkg: error processing archive ibmmq-java_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64) dpkg: error processing archive ibmmq-jre_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64) dpkg: error processing archive ibmmq-samples_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64) dpkg: error processing archive ibmmq-web_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb (--install): package architecture (armhf) does not match system (arm64) Errors were encountered while processing: ibmmq-runtime_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-sdk_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-server_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-man_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-amqp_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-client_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-gskit_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-java_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-jre_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-samples_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb ibmmq-web_9.2.0.0_armhf.deb

On January 28th 2022 the final 64bit version of Raspberry Pi OS was released.

Are there plans to provide MQ for this OS?

[AntonioTrindade]

Hi all.

I managed to install IBM MQ 9.3.2 32-bit in Ubuntu Server 22.04 64-bit. I was missing the 32-bit libraries as IBM MQ packages are not dependent on those. After installing a 32-bit Ubuntu package, I was then able to create, run, delete, etc., a queue manager.

I've not read the release notes and was sad because this version does not support AMQP.

Hi,

Quite eager to try this one out, but i'm having the same issues as Antonio (running 64-bit on Rpi 4) and get hit by:

my05,

You have to edit the mqlicense.sh script and remove the architecture check.

Regards.

Hi Antonio,

That sorted it out. Thank you :)

But of course now i'm stuck on the install part where it expects 32-bit libs. I will try to fiddle around a bit.

(any chance to get 64-bit support for this package dear MQ team?)
