Hi All,
I got the problem solved ...
I used the command
rpm -ivh --nodeps --force-debian --prefix /opt/mqm MQSeriesRuntime-*rpm
We should add -- prefix /opt/mqm in the command
Reason:
Ubuntu 14.04 updated the version of RPM which is provided by the distribution to version 4.11.1-3. A functionality regression which is present in this version of RPM, as documented in the Red Hat Bugzill bug 979443, prevents WebSphere MQ from being installed using the default install options. The error message you see when installing the MQSeriesRuntime component is of the form: The error mentioned in the earlier post..ERROR: Specified path is not empty
The circumvention for this problem is to add the '--prefix /opt/mqm' option to the installation command, as follows:
rpm -ivh --nodeps --force-debian --prefix /opt/mqm MQSeriesRuntime-*rpm
Preparing... ################################# [100%]

Yes, I'd just come to that conclusion, the trace shows MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH, which is set from RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX, being empty. We've put a work around in later releases releases to assume /opt/mqm in this situation.

I am getting the same problem trying to install MQ 7.5.0.2, even using the command
| Code: |
rpm -ivh --prefix /opt/mqm /WMQ_v7502_base/MQSeries*
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
ERROR: Specified path is not empty
error: %pre(MQSeriesRuntime-7.5.0-2.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping MQSeriesRuntime-7.5.0-2

The version of RHEL Linux is a bit old but still should be OK
Linux xxxxxxxx 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5 #1 SMP Wed Oct 20 13:03:08 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
UPDATE:
I fixed the problem by removing some hidden files in /opt/mqm

Out of curiousity, where the files that you needed to delete under /opt/mqm/maintenance?

No, some muppet had used /opt/mqm as the home directory for the mqm id and so there was a .profile and .ssh directories hiding in there.

Ok, makes sense. We had a similar install issue where UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE IBM MQ SUPPORT STAFF, we had to do some clean up under /opt/mqm/maintenance to get the install to work.
In your case, it sounds like Gonzo needs to stop doing Linux administration and get back to playing the trumpet. Just kidding.
