Symptoms

When trying to run Parallels Transporter Agent on a 64-bit Fedora 10 or 64-bit Debian-based GNU/Linux distribution (Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu, Linux Mint etc.), you may encounter the following error:

/usr/lib/parallels-transporter-agent/parallels-transporter-agent:
error while loading shared libraries: libpam.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Cause

This is caused by the absence of 32-bit version of libpam.so.0 library which is required by Parallels Transporter Agent.

Resolution

You can install this library on your own by running the following command in terminal:

* on Fedora 10 run as root:
  # yum install pam.i386

* on Debian-based distribution:
  # sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
