Compilers
The following compilers are supported for
WebSphere® MQ for Linux®, Version 6.0.
C applications/C++ applications- GNU C Compiler (gcc) and g++ Version 2.9.5
- GNU C Compiler (gcc) and g++ Version 3.2
- GNU C Compiler (gcc) and g++ Version 3.3
- GNU C Compiler (gcc) and g++ Version 3.4
Note: The C++ support libraries are installed in directories whose
names match the compiler version, /opt/mqm/lib/<version>,
and links are placed from /opt/mqm/lib to the default version,
3.2.
COBOL applications- Micro Focus Server Express, V4.0
Java™ applications
IBM® Software
Developer's Kit (SDK), Java 2 Technology Edition for Linux on zSeries®,
Version 1.4.2
If you intend to use the IBM Global Security Kit V7 or the supplied
V1.4.2 Java SDK with WebSphere MQ for Linux, V6.0
(zSeries platform)
on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3.0, you must ensure you install 

compat-libstdc++-7.2-2.95.3
This is because
the zSeries 31-bit
V1.4.2 Java JRE and SDKs supplied with WebSphere MQ V6.0, depend on shared
libraries that are not installed by default for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
3.0.
Java Messaging and SOAP transport
If you want
to use Java Messaging and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
Support, you need a Java Runtime Environment Version 1.4.2 or
later. An appropriate runtime environment is provided in the JDK provided
on the
WebSphere MQ Server CD-ROM. See
WMQ Components for package information.
The JDK available
on the server CD-ROM is:
- IBM 31-bit
SDK for Linux on zSeries, Java 2
Technology Edition, Version 1.4
This JDK provides support for SOAP and are FIPS 140-2 compliant. For
a list of alternative JDKs, see
www.ibm.com/software/integration/websphere/mqplatforms/supported.html
For
further information about using Java with WebSphere MQ see, WebSphere MQ

For
further information about SOAP see, WebSphere MQ Transport for SOAP book.
If
you use a JDK other than the one supplied by
WebSphere MQ Version 6.0 you
should be aware that:
- The JDK may not be FIPS level 140-2 compliant and by using it with WebSphere MQ, will not comply the FIPS 140-2 standards.
- SOAP is not supported.
