Insight 1.0.1 Install Problem - loading libraries:libXm.so.3


Venkata Naveen Voora (11) | asked Jan 11 '11, 6:49 a.m.
I am having problems installing Insight 1.0.1 on Linux 64 Bit machine.
Machine Configuration:
GNU/Linux : x86_64

The IBMIM installer is not able to install Insight.
I am getting following error during installation:

/opt/ibm/RationalInsight/install/cognos_bi/linuxi38632/issetup: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

UserID performing installation task is having root access on machine.
Pre Installtion check is also done well.
I tried to analyse the problem, but not able to get any solution.

Can any one help me in this regard.

Hi Venkata,

Did you follow all of the preinstallation steps listed in the following document?

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rentrpt/v1r0m1/topic/com.ibm.rational.raer.install.doc/topics/t_prereq_reportalserver_rhel.html

If so, can you provide some more details about your environment? Which Linux distro and version are you using?

Hi Venkata,

Can you tell me which Linux distro and version your are installing on?

Have you tried rebooting since the last failed installation attempt?

Hi Lawrence,

Following are the details of machine:

Release Info : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga)

Linux version 2.6.18-194.el5 (mockbuild@x86-005.build.bos.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)) #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 21:52:39 EDT 2010

I rebooted the machine and tried to install again.
After this i got following error:

Please suggest me how to go for installation.

Hi Venkata,

It looks like you may have hit the following defect in the documentation:

http://jazz.net/jazz02/web/projects/Rational%20Insight#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=42688

Try creating a symbolic link to the missing library as follows:

ln -s libXm.so.4.0.1 libXm.so.3
