Hi,
I've tried to install MQ 6 in a Ubuntu 7.04 dev machine unzipping the IBM's C8472ML.tar.gz file.
I have alien and rpm installed because all install files are rpm based. Unfortunately, when I try to install the runtime:
$ sudo alien -idc MQSeriesRuntime-6.0.0-0.i386.rpm
I get the message:
[: 51: upgrade: bad number
chown: cannot access `/usr/share/locale/C/LC_MESSAGES/amq.cat': No such file or directory
Please, let me know if you have any installation guide available for Ubuntu or ideas on how to solve this problem.
Thanks. |

Is Ubuntu a supported platform?

But if the installed base increases sharply (for instance Dell start OEMing it onto their machines - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6610901.stm) then this could change.

Folks,
I was waiting answers regarding support problems... 
IBM already provides DB2 installation and support to Ubuntu (I believe since version 6.06). I hope it'll be only a question of time to give support to MQ in Ubuntu...
I think I should install CentOS 4.4 or 5 (free open source distro flavor based in RHEL) to install MQ. It's only a test/development machine.
Thanks! |

you may want to try using rpm:
here is what I did on my 7.04 Ubuntu to install the WMQv600Trial-x86_linux_2 package.
sudo rpm -ivh --nodeps MQSeriesRuntime-6.0.0-0.i386.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
Creating user mqm
1:MQSeriesRuntime ########################################### [100%]
the --nodeps is because otherwise I get the following error message:
error: Failed dependencies:
/bin/sh is needed by MQSeriesRuntime-6.0.0-0.i386
I just needed the SDK really, but I have installed Server, Client, Runtime, SDK and samples like this. I get an error message when using crtmqm, which I suspect would be essential to you, so the problem is not fixed - I just get one step further. |

As SuneHansen said, install the rpms (Runtime, Server at least) using 'rpm -ivh --nodeps '. Then - before doing anything else - install the latest fixes, since (on my 7.04 box anyway) crtmqm does not work at the base level (AMQ8101).
My Ubuntu 7.04 box is running fine after installing fixpack 6.0.2 |
