The installer is unable to run in graphical mode

Troubleshooting


Problem

When attempting to install ITCAM for WebSphere Application Server 7.0 on Linux, the GUI installation program fails to start.

Symptom

You might get a message similar to the following:
The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. Try running the installer with the -console or -silent flag.

If you append the option "-is:log <log_path>" to the installation command, for example:
./setup_MS.bin -is:log /tmp/ms.log

Then a message similar to the following can be found in the <log_path> file:
1>>/tmp/ms.log 2>>/tmp/istemp938070102154712/APP_STDERR

And a message similar to the following can be found in the /tmp/istemp*/APP_STDERR file:
An error occurred during wizard bean change notification:
java.lang/UnstatisfiedLinkError:
/opt/sw/ITCAMMSzlin/java/jre/bin/libawt.so: libXmu.so.6

Cause

Required operating system packages for Linux are missing. The lack of prerequisite X Window RPM packages will cause the Java Swing GUI program to fail to work normally. The lack of a PAM RPM package will cause an authenticate utility return error, which will block installation.

Resolving The Problem

1. Ensure that the X Window System package group is installed. ITCAM for WebSphere Application Server product require RPMs that are installed with the X Window System package group in Linux systems.

2. Ensure that the following RPMs are installed, according to the version of your Linux operating system:

3. Verify that the Java 2 SDK on your copy of the product CD is functioning correctly.
If you create your own product CD from an ISO image or by copying the actual CD, perform the following steps to verify that the Java 2 SDK on the product CD-ROM is working correctly:
  1. Navigate to the <Your_Image_Path>/java/jre/bin directory on the product CD-ROM. For example: cd /mnt/ITCAM/image/ITCAMMSxlin/java/jre/bin
  2. Verify the Java 2 SDK version. Type the following command:
    ./java -version

If the command completes successfully with no errors, the Java 2 SDK is intact.
