Hi,

We are in the middle of migrating our Java API from running in a tcserver instance on bare metal to container on cloud infra. We use the Prince java wrapper.

Now we are getting an issue with the prince binaries.

Our container runs OS Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 (Ootpa) so I downloaded the Prince version CentOS 8 / 64-bit tar.gz unpacked it and deployed the prince directory together with the app in the container.

When we debug the issue, we find ldd prince returns three missing dependencies:
libtiff.so.5 => not found
libgif.so.7 => not found
libfontconfig.so.1 => not found

Can you advise on how to solve the error above? Why are they not included int eh RHEL 8.4 distribution?

You will need to install some additional packages, the RPM should handle these dependencies for you.
