How do I install ELM 7.0.2 SR1 iFix015 under Linux ?
I am trying to install RTC client 7.0.2 SR1 under Linux (x86-64 Fedora 41). I find that launchpad.sh exits immediately, leaving this error message in its log
!ENTRY org.eclipse.compare.win32 4 0 2024-12-13 09:50:40.142
!MESSAGE FrameworkEvent ERROR

org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Could not resolve module: org.eclipse.compare.win32 [227]

at org.eclipse.osgi.container.ModuleContainer$ContainerStartLevel.dispatchEvent(ModuleContainer.java:1476)
It looks to me that there is a defect in the installer; it seems to be asking for a Windows-specific class in the Linux installer. I need RTC 7.0.2 because this is the level which is compatible with the Jazz server that I connect to .
Am I doing something wrong, if so what ? Chris Ward tjcw@uk.ibm.com
Accepted answer
I think the options you have are
- Open a case with support
- Try to use silent install: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/SilentInstallOnLinux
I have used the silent install option multiple times on Redhat where I only have console access.

I would like to try the silent install, but I can't see where to get JTS-CCM-QM-RM-JRS-ENI-repo-7.0.2SR1.zip from. Please can you post the link to the download page . Thanks !
You go to the ELM download page for the version you want, then go to the All Downloads page and study that. You scroll to the IBM Installation Manager Repositories section and download the
Jazz Team Server and CCM, AM, QM, RM, ENI, JRS, GCM and LDX Applications with Trial licenses for IBM Engineering Workflow Management, IBM Engineering Test Management, and IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next
Ralph told me that the download links are
I followed the instructions and got as far as
tjcw:tools$ ./imcl -input /home/tjcw/ELM/im/linux.gtk.x86_64/silent-install-server.xml -acceptLicense -sVP
