 Hello,


Just a background on our environment:

The first issue I was getting was the launchpad.sh installation script was unable to find a valid version of Firefox in order to install the application (currently have the most current version of Firefox for Scientific Linux 6) but I seem to be getting another issue now.

I followed the prerequisites (following this page http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSTWP_8.1.4/com.ibm.rational.license.doc/topics/t_install_lic_unix.html) and I am currently trying to install the application from the terminal and I am getting this error:

[root@eng-ibm-doors disk1]# ./launchpad.sh
./launchpad.sh: line 64: /root/RationalInstallation/RationalLicenseServer/RLKSSERVER_SETUP_LINUX_X86/disk1/launchpad/SetArchitecture.sh:Permission denied
./launchpad.sh: line 65: /root/RationalInstallation/RationalLicenseServer/RLKSSERVER_SETUP_LINUX_X86/disk1/launchpad/getOS.sh:Permission denied
./launchpad.sh: line 171: /root/RationalInstallation/RationalLicenseServer/RLKSSERVER_SETUP_LINUX_X86/disk1/launchpad/GetLocale.sh:Permission denied
./launchpad.sh: line 179: /root/RationalInstallation/RationalLicenseServer/RLKSSERVER_SETUP_LINUX_X86/disk1/launchpad/splash.sh:Permission denied
/root/RationalInstallation/RationalLicenseServer/RLKSSERVER_SETUP_LINUX_X86/disk1/launchpad/browser.sh: line 117: [: =: unary operator expected
./launchpad.sh: line 192: /root/RationalInstallation/RationalLicenseServer/RLKSSERVER_SETUP_LINUX_X86/disk1/launchpad/jclp.sh:Permission denied
env: /root/RationalInstallation/RationalLicenseServer/RLKSSERVER_SETUP_LINUX_X86/disk1/launchpad/Firefox.sh:Permission denied

I get this same behaviour whether I add sudo in front of the command or not. I tried running this as our doors user but the script just completes without prompting anything to me or installing anything.

Is there any reason as to why this would be happening?

Thanks

I personally did not have great experience with sudo and a GUI. So try to log in as root or use the console mode to install.

 Do you happen to know the switches I have to use for installing with console mode? I might be missing it but I can't seem to find it in the documentation. I did find a console install file in RationalLicenseServer/RLKSSERVER_SETUP_LINUX_X86/disk1/InstallerImage_linux_gtk_x86 but I get the same permission denied error even as root user
