Installing Cognos 10.2 on RedHat

If you get the following error when installing Cognos on RedHat:
$ ./issetup                                                                                                  
./issetup: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It means that you do not have the 32bit libraries for OpenMotif. (see this link: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21612290)

To fix this, install openmotif.i686 package:
[root@rhel-server-64-x86-64 ~]# yum install openmotif.i686                                                   
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager

Installing IBM Installation Manager 1.5.2 (for WebSphere 8.5) on 64bit RedHat

If you are installing WebSphere 8.5, you will need to install IBM Installation Manager 1.5.2.

The thing is on 64bit Redhat, you will need to install 32bit libraries support as IBM Installation Manager is 32bit (IM supports 64bit only in 1.6 onwards).

See this URL ; http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21380014

How to install the libraries : https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21459143


Possible errors/indications:
- Missing libraries:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons:
        /mnt/hgfs/Software/AppServers/WebSphere8.5/InstalMgr1.5.2_LNX_X86_WAS_8.5/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/454/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3659.so (libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
        swt-pi-gtk (Not found in java.library.path)
        /tmp/swtlib-32/libswt-pi-gtk-3659.so (/tmp/swtlib-32/liblibswt-pi-gtk-3659.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

        /tmp/swtlib-32/libswt-pi-gtk-3659.so (libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

- If you try to point to the 64bit libraries you will get the following errors (under configuration/ dir):
ava.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons:
        /mnt/hgfs/Software/AppServers/WebSphere8.5/InstalMgr1.5.2_LNX_X86_WAS_8.5/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/454/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3659.so (libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64)

- If you are installing on a VM and try to use the VM 32bit libraries, you will get coredump:

IBM Installation Manager 1.4.3 on RedHat 6.2 64bit

Ok, guys, this took me quite some time to figure out.

So, if you are installing WebSphere Express 8.0, you need to install IBM Installation Manager (IIM)  first.

Now, the thing is, if you are installing IIM on Linux 64bit, it will not work immediately.

The reason is that IIM is 32bit and thus requires 32bit libraries which is not installed by default.

You need to install the following:

[root@localhost]# yum install gtk2.i686
[root@localhost]# yum install libXtst.i686If you received the the missing libstdc++ message above, install the libstdc++ library:

[root@localhost]# yum install compat-libstdc++

Also, the logs are in the configuration subdirectory (if you want to see the errors during installation).

How to configure YUM (RedHat 6.2)

[root@rhel62-64 yum.repos.d]# cat server*
[server]
name=server
baseurl=file://"/media/RHEL_6.2 x86_64 Disc 1/Server"
enabled=1
[root@localhost]# yum clean all


[root@rhel62-64 media]# pwd
/media
[root@rhel62-64 media]# cd *
[root@rhel62-64 RHEL_6.2 x86_64 Disc 1]# ls -l *GPG*

-r--r--r--. 3 root root 3211 Nov  8  2011 RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
[root@rhel62-64 RHEL_6.2 x86_64 Disc 1]#  rpm --import *GPG*

Configure yum and install

Here's how you install libXtst.i686 (32bit library on 64bit OS)

[root@rhel62-64 RHEL_6.2 x86_64 Disc 1]# yum install libXtst.i686
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager
