IBM RTC Installation

1.  In Ubuntu 11, after run ./launchpad.sh, and in browser, the hyperlink is no any reponse to envoke "Install Manager"
2. After read installation guild, that mention that support RedHat Linux, but no Ubuntu. So I decide to re-install redhad as server for RTC.
3. In RedHat Server 6, following problem is encountered.

1. Can't run ./launchpad.sh, with error : /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

Cause

Installation Manger is a 32-bit application and requires 32-bit versions of OS system libraries. These libraries are not installed on RHEL 6.0/6.1 x86_64 (64-bit) by default. You must install these 32-bit libraries on your system before you run Installation Manager.

Resolving the problem

The required libraries are available on the Red Hat 6.0/6.1 distribution DVD. To install the required libraries:

1. Mount the DVD to the system. Insert the DVD into the DVD drive.

2. Select open a terminal window as a root.

3. Execute the commands:

[root@localhost]# mkdir /mnt/cdrom

[root@localhost]# mount -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

4. Create the text file server.repo in the /etc/yum.repos.d directory.

NOTE: To use gedit, execute the command:

[root@localhost]# gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/server.repo

Add the following text to the file:

[server]

name=server
baseurl=file:///mnt/cdrom/Workstation
enabled=1

where baseurl depends on the mounting point and the RHEL distribution.

In the example, the mounting point is cdrom and the RHEL distribution is Workstation but could be sever.

5. Execute the command:

[root@localhost]# yum clean all

6. Execute the command to import related public keys:

[root@localhost]# rpm --import /mnt/cdrom/*GPG*

7. Execute the commands to install the required libraries:

[root@localhost]# yum install gtk2.i686

[root@localhost]# yum install libXtst.i686

During the install you might receive prompts similar to the example. Answer with 'y'.

Example:

Total download size: 15 M

Installed size: 47 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y

NOTE: The package name extension (.i686) might change in the command depending on the hardware platform that you use. The table lists valid values for the package name extension.

RHEL 6.0 package names on different platforms

Platform​	32-bit​	64-bit​
x86/x86_64​	i686​	x86_64​
ppc/ppc64​	ppc​	ppc64​
s390/s390x​	s390​	s390x​

1. After can start up the browser, and click the install 'Hyperline' in browser. 'Administrator Privilege' is need. Erorr happened.

   • If we use 'su root', and change to 'root', there will be another problem, can't find browser, happen.
   • if we use sudo ./launchpad.sh, then ... bla bla said, scm can't use sudo ....
   • So, I use following step by second method in document
1. su -m root
2. visudo
3. edit /etc/sudoers file
   add line : %scm All=(ALL) ALL, and save
   
2. use 'sudo ./launchpad' startup and click to run intall manager successfully
