Install e1Agent on el6u6 and getting libXp library problems.

 

This post basically exists because of the following stack trace.  This has occurred because I’m installing software in AWS and used the AMI ID OL6.7-x86_64-PVM-2015-12-04 (ami-0fb7ef6c) as the base for all my servers.  This seems to be missing a few items, so let me document the journey…

From the beginning, this is a list of steps that should provide you a safe install.

yum install unzip

yum install xterm

yum install glibc.i686

yum install ksh

yum erase libXp libXi libXtst

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

yum install wget

wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo

Note that if you try and install the below, you might get

warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 1e5e0159: NOKEY
Retrieving key from file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle

The GPG keys listed for the "Oracle Linux 6Server Latest (x86_64)" repository are already installed but they are not correct for this package.
Check that the correct key URLs are configured for this repository.

If you get the error above, Edit the file below, make

[root@vltweb02 yum.repos.d]# vi public-yum-el5.repo
[el5_latest]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever Latest ($basearch)
baseurl=http://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL5/latest/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

yum install libXp.i386 libXi.i386  libXtst.i386 --setopt=protected_multilib=false

install java as root, rpm –i ./jdk-8u73-linux-x64.rpm

[root@vltent01 software]# rpm -i ./*.rpm

useradd oracle
groupadd wls
usermod -a -G wls oracle
groupadd oinstall
usermod -a -G oinstall oracle
groups oracle

su – oracle

cd /u01/software/Disk1/install

chmod 755 *

Then, /u01/software/Disk1/install/runInstaller.sh

maybe you get this:

[jde910@vltent01 install]$ ./runInstaller
bash: ./runInstaller: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

need as root (if you’ve nto done it)  yum install glibc.i686

now as jde910:

[jde910@vltent01 install]$ which java
/usr/bin/java
[jde910@vltent01 install]$ java -version
java version "1.8.0_73"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_73-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.73-b02, mixed mode)

 

And WOW – I finally get a installer window.  This is some conflict with the older installers and the new OS, you need 386 versions of some of the x11 stuff.

download and install java (grab RPM from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-se-jdk-7-download-432154.html )

./tunInstaller

Note that I’m managing WLS, so oracle user is good

happy

next

Enter your dep server and port (note that this is all in AWS)

Note that this failed when taking screen shots, I tried to start the agent, and it did not know about /bin/ksh

I yum install ksh

deleted the old dirs and uninstalled with the universal installer

and then installed again, all good.

 

Note that these changes broke the WLS12C installer,

to fix this I did

yum erase xterm

yum erase libX*

yum install xterm

yum install libX*

This uninstalled the mix of xterm I needed for the old e1agent
