Hi everybody,

I am trying to execute the RDT installer for the version 9 with the root user from a Linux console.

Command executed:

       sh launchpad-console.sh

The results are:

       launchpad-console.sh: line 3: ./InstallerImage_linux.gtk.x86_64/tools/imcl: Permission denied

The properties of the file are:

      -rwxr-xr-x.  1 ibmsys1 ibmsys1  117 May 31  2013 launchpad-console.sh

If I try to do the installation from a graphical user interface environment, I get the following message after execute launchpad.sh file:

      There is no application installed for shell script files.

I am following the Installation and Sample Configuration Guide of RDT version 9 for both cases.

Please, Could you help us in this point ?

Thanks and regards,

Raúl

It isn't the launchpad-console.sh file which it is complaining about, but rather the /InstallerImage_linux.gtk.x86_64/tools/imcl file. Are you installing from physical media or did you download the images from Passport?  If downloaded, how did you unzip the files (what command and what OS).

Hi John,

It is from a physical media. The content are 12 DVDs.

Thanks and Regards,

Not sure exactly what is going on here.  We are looking into it further.  In the meantime, for a quick fix, you can copy the files over to your machine and execute them from there.

Hi John,

It is just the point where i am. I copied the content to the machine and I get the error messages that I wrote in previous messages.

I checked the content with the original DVDs and it is exactly the same.

Thanks for your help,

Raúl

Hello Raúl,

It might be that the copy operation didn't maintain the execute permissions on the files. Please check the /InstallerImage_linux.gtk.x86_64/tools/imcl file (and all other files copied from the disk) to ensure they have the execute permission set. If the permissions are already set, then try running the command which the shell script is trying to run (need to run this command from the directory where the launchpad-console.sh file resides):

./InstallerImage_linux.gtk.x86_64/tools/imcl -c -input InstallerImage_linux.gtk.x86_64/install_rdt.xml

John

Thanks for the information. I am going to try to check the copy operation done.

Regards,

Raúl

I confirm you that the properties of the copied files were the problem.

Thanks a lot and regards,
