Note: I don’t think this is officially supported, so YMMV.
I encountered a problem installing ALUI G6 on Fedora Core 5. Just for the record, it’s not a problem with ALUI — it’s a problem with InstallAnywhere, the software that BEA uses to install ALUI.
Here are the errors I got:
[plumtree@bdg-chris]# ./PlumtreeFoundation_v6-0 Preparing to install... Extracting the JRE from the installer archive... Unpacking the JRE... Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive... Configuring the installer for this system's environment... awk: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dirname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /bin/ls: error while loading shared libraries: librt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory basename: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dirname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory basename: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory hostname: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Launching installer... grep: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory /tmp/install.dir.17585/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I resolved these errors by doing the following:
[plumtree@bdg-chris]# cat PlumtreeFoundation_v6-0 | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > PlumtreeFoundation_v6-0.new [plumtree@bdg-chris]# chmod a+x PlumtreeFoundation_v6-0.new [plumtree@bdg-chris]# ./PlumtreeFoundation_v6-0.new
This may work to get ALUI installed on other unsupported flavors of *nix, although I’ve never tried it, so again, YMMV.

- once you got it installed how did it run on core 5?

- It ran pretty well aside from the occasional JVM segfault, which I could have probably fixed by upgrading to the latest 1.4.2 JVM and plugging that into Tomcat 5, rather than running the OOTB bundled Tomcat/JVM supplied by BEA.
Instead, I’ve switched to Ubuntu (with Oracle XE), which is a great platform because, for the most part, it just takes care of itself. It’s like having RHEL with a lifetime subscription to RHN, but without actually paying for it! 😉
