Getting strings:'/lib/libc.so.6': no such file error on Linux IA64 machines
Hi
When i launch the installer on Linux IA64 machines, I get an error strings:'/lib/libc.so.6': no such file after extracting the JRE.
Is this an Installanywhere issue? Any idea of how to resolve this.

No, I would say this is a combination of JVM & OS issue: you most likely bundle a 32 bit JVM which lacks some .so file on the target system.

Hi
I have bundled JRE 1.6 for Linux IA64. Still I am getting the same error.

Yes, but in order to be able to correctly run that JVM for that OS that lib that's in the error message is required.

This is a problem with Install anywhere, and the assumptions it makes about the target system. Has nothing to do with the JVM.
Install Anywhere creates a 32 bit linux binary which assumes that various 32 bit libraries exist on the system.
When you install it on a 64 bit system, it assumes that the necessary 32 bit compatibility libraries are installed. When they are not installed (which appears to be the default for newer linux distros - I encountered this on RHEL 6 Beta 2) it dies a horrible death.
Ideally, Install Anywhere could handle this... but since it can't, the only alternative I know is to force your users to install the missing compatibility libraries.
After you fix the error you posted, you will likely get this error next (this is from the JVM, however, since I bundle a 32 bit JVM, and not a 64 bit):
Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)
Stack Trace:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/install.dir.5282/Linux/resource/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method)
And then yet one more after that.
Anyway. To fix this on RHEL Beta 2, I had to install the 32 bit versions of the following:
glibc
libXext
libXtst
The second two are to fix issues with the 32 bit JVM, which you probably don't need if you are shipping a 64 bit JVM.
Note that, in the graphical package installer included with RedHat, you must uncheck the box for "only native packages" before it will show you the 32 bit versions of these libraries that you need to install.
Sigh. Yet another installer killing bug that I have to include in my release notes for our customers.

I post several articles here too. I have similar problems to run the installer on EwdHat 6 X64 beta 2. I have to ask user to install all required 32bit libs to make sure the installer can work. Even after that, I couldn't see any exceptions I still have problem to invode the graphic user interface and I think it still need more 32bit libs.

Sorry Daniel, but as you can see, IA relies on Java, which in turn relies on the system (which can be 32 / 64 bits). The issue you get you'll have with any other 32 bit application on 64 bit platforms if you don't have the compatibility libraries installed.

Hello,
I am using RHEL 6.1 OS. (i.e. "Linux 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 10 15:42:40 EDT 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux").
Our installer is built with 64-bit JRE on RHEL 6.1 64-bit OS.
We are using Sun JDK, 1.6.0_26-b03
I am getting the infamous GUI problem while launching the installer UI - i.e. I can "not" launch the GUI version of the installer and facing the error: "Graphical installers are not supported by the VM. The console mode will be used instead..."
Here is the output - "any" help will be much appreciated.

I am using RHEL 6.1 OS. (i.e. "Linux 2.6.32-131.0.15.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 10 15:42:40 EDT 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux").
Our installer is built with 64-bit JRE on RHEL 6.1 64-bit OS.
We are using Sun JDK, 1.6.0_26-b03
I am getting the infamous GUI problem while launching the installer UI - i.e. I can "not" launch the GUI version of the installer and facing the error: "Graphical installers are not supported by the VM. The console mode will be used instead..."
Here is the output - "any" help will be much appreciated.

This is really wired behavior. Its causing only if DISPLAY variable is set.
unset DISPLAY and installer runs fine.
Take the same installer and run on Linux 5 and it works fine. Installer crashes only if we run on Linux 6 environment. Any idea why??

Thank you everyone for the response. After so many months, I opened an incident with Installanywhere and they agree that this is an issue with Installanywhere and its fixed in latest versions.
As we are planning to use IA2011Sp3, I tested this with new version and things are working fine. On Linux-64 bit machine, 32 bit installer is working fine and not giving any errors as it was the case when I was using IA2009Sp1.

kulde01, I have the same problem, which VM did you use to fix it? I'm using IA2011Sp3 and I tried with all the vm's from here -> http://www.flexerasoftware.com/products/installanywhere/files-utilities.htm#LINUX_64
Thanks in advance!
