Dear all,

I have downloaded the cplex_studio122.acad.linux-x86.bin file, which shoudl include everything I need to install concert and Cplex on my system.

So I did

chmod +x cplex_studio122.acad.linux-x86.bin
./cplex_studio122.acad.linux-x86.bin

My output was the following:

++eothein@eliot:~$ ./cplex_studio122.acad.linux-x86.bin++

So something is going wrong with the supplied JRE? When I looked for it, I could not even do java -version (Not my own installed java jre). So when I tried to adjust the .bin file (the first part is a script part) I cannot force using my own java as it then states that its checksum in incorrect etc...

So here are my questions;

1. Did anyone else experience this?
2. How can I solve this?

Kind regards

I had no problem with the installation (on two different Linux boxes) doing the same steps you used. Have you tried a fresh download? Maybe something was corrupted.

I did try a new download (both http and from the applet) and both have the same result, i.e. these things...

I even tried the checksum which seems to be correct...

Here a comment from Christophe Gefflot, who is responsible for our installers:

Another (rare) possibility: 
 
The default directory - used by Installanywhere to unpack temporary files used for install  - is corrupted 
 
"InstallAnywhere checks for the system environment varible IATEMPDIR and resolves its value as the temp directory path.
Setting IATEMPDIR prior to launching the installer will redirect the installer's temporary directories to the specified location. "
 
Does it work better if the user defines the IATEMPDIR variable ( setenv IATEMPDIR=/home/user_name/tmp) before the install process ?

None of the above worked,...

but what did work was a simple reboot.....
