We try to install WBIMB under SuSE 9.0 Professional. IBM officially supports SuSE SLES 8.0.
In our case the installation fails at the very beginning. This is what we see:
<begin>
atlas:/opt/EAI/WBIMB # ./setuplinuxia32
InstallShield Wizard
InstallShield Wizard wird initialisiert...
Java(tm) Virtual Machine wird gesucht...
.
Java(tm) Virtual Machine wird vorbereitet...
..................................
...................................
...................................
...................................
...................................
...................................
...................................
...................................
...................................
...................................
................atlas:/opt/EAI/WBIMB # java
<end>
Has any one a installation guide für WBIMB and SuSE?
Thanx,
Lars |

Do you have XWindows running?
Try running "./setuplinux32 -console -is:javaconsole" instead, see if that gives more assistance.

Thanks for the quick answer.
Unfortunately there is no change in the behavior. All I get is a 200 MB core dump 
I run KDE under SuSE 9.0 Professional. MQSeries 5.3 CSD5 is onboard. I tried JRE of SUN (1.4.2) and IBM (1.4.1).

Is there anything in your system log?
Is there anything resembling an FFST (other than the core dump)?
Also, try EXPORT LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5, or 2.4.1

..jepp.. EXPORT was the magic word. Now I can see the GUI coming up.
Many thanx to you, Jeff.
Regards,
Lars

Did you try "2.5.2" or "2.2.5"?

Are you getting a core dump?
Do you have XWindows running?

Hi,
Yes i am recieving massive core dumps. So the install relies on xwindows then??
if that is the case, then thats what the problem is as ive already had problems with x-windows on this machine.
thanks

No, the install does not depend on XWindows.
But the GUI install *does* depend on XWindows. It's very difficult on Linux to get a GUI without XWindows.
There are options for doing the install without the GUI.
Please read the installation instructions.

Don't know if im being stupid here, but the install document says a silent install can be done with the following command:
setuplinuxia32 -silent [...options]
but this is still running the java virtual machine???
hence same problem.
is there another silent install command. Looked in all the directories but can't find anything.
Im installing on Intel Linux Redhat.

If your XWindows doesn't work, you will get core dumps when the GUI java console tries to start up.
The silent install, I believe, should prevent the GUI console from coming up, and thus entirely ignore XWindows.
But yes, the installation program is written in Java and will require a JVM to initiate.
But the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL should hopefully allow the included JVM (on the install media) to start.
If the -silent install doesn't work, then you need to open a ticket with IBM.

I don't profess to be an XWindows expert, but perhaps you need to specify the following :
set -a
export DISPLAY=<ip address of your PC>:0.0
