Hi there,

BTW I've run MQ on Slackware before without any problems. But, it was only a test environment.

Who have you installed it ? As WMQ is furnished as RPM files and as Slackware uses pkg files, how did you install WMQ ?
Did you rpm2tgz'ed the files ? Or have you installed rpm to use the original files ?

Hi,
I can't comment on WAS because I don't use it but I have various Linux with MQ installed on them.
- MQ v5.3 on Red Hat v7.3 on x86 (PII 350)
- MQ v5.3 on Red Hat v8.0 on x86 (PII 350)
- MQ v6.0 on Fedora Core 3 on x86 (dual Celeron 433)
- MQ v6.0 on SLES9 Linux on POWER (iSeries).
These all work properly after installing MQ. i.e. no special environment variables, etc..
Regards,
Roger Lacroix

Roger, I think all those distros use RPM (I guess I'm not positive abotu SLES9).
WAS doesn't use RPM at all, it uses a crossplatform java installer... it should run just fine on most any linux distro... But only the supported distros are guaranteed to work.

Just because it doesn't use RPMs, doesn't mean it doesnt come with the rpm program. Manually check the dependencies, and then use rpm with --nodeps.
There is also a program to convert rpm to tgz, but I haven't tried that.
Cheers,
