Rational Developer for System z

IBM Installation Manager cannot be installed or started

To resolve this problem, install the required 32-bit Linux packages from the Linux install disk or package repository.

Note: For a partial list of 32-bit Linux packages that are prerequisites for running Developer for System z® on a supported 64-bit Linux operating system, see IBM® Rational® Developer for System z Version 8.0.3: Installation Guide.
Operating systems:
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux V6 64-bit

Problem:
When you try to install or start the IBM Installation Manager you receive an error message similar to the one shown in the example below. In this example the install command was run in a terminal window from a directory containing the installation files for Installation Manager:
[root@zahar-rhel64 IMinstallKit]# ./install
bash: ./install: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

Analysis:
The Installation Manager requires 32-bit versions of the Linux operating system libraries. Some of these libraries are not installed by default with Red Hat Enterprise Linux V6 64-bit.

Resolution:
To resolve the problem, install the following 32-bit packages from the Linux install disk or package repository:
  • libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
  • libpk-gtk-module.so
  • libcanberra-gtk-module.so
For example, from the command line of a terminal window enter the following:
yum install libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
Do this for all three packages listed above.

The Installation Manager should now install and start correctly
