Configuring the environment to run GSKit

The GSKCapiCmd is a non-Java-based command-line tool, and Java™ does not need to be installed on your system to use this tool; it is located in the <Modeler installation directory>/bin folder. The process to configure your environment to run IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit) varies depending on the platform in use.

To configure for Linux/Unix, add the shared libraries directory <Modeler installation directory>/lib to your environment:

$export <Shared library path environment variable>=<modeler_server_install_path>/bin
$export PATH=$PATH:<modeler_server_install_path>/bin

The shared library path variable name depends on your platform:

  • HP-UX uses the variable name: SHLIB_PATH
  • Linux uses the variable name: LD_LIBRARY_PATH

For example, to set the environment on Linux, use:

$export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/gskit/bin
$export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/gskit/bin
