How to configure Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 to run Rational ClearCase

Answer

Refer to technote 1459143: Unable to install Installation Manager on RHEL 6.0/6.1 (64-bit) if you need help installing the Installation Manager itself.

The set of packages that must be installed depends on the ClearCase version (7.1.2.x, 8.0.x.x or 9.0.x.x) as well as on the system architecture (IA32, X86_64, PPC or S390).
The system installer is able to detect if a package is already installed on the system. If that is the case, it will not be reinstalled.

Refer to the ClearCase version and the hardware architecture of the Operating System you want to install for details.
