Using MapMan

Problem installing MapMan with Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Hello,

I am trying to install MapMan version 3.5.1 on a computer running Red Hat Enterprise linux.

I have downloaded the MapManInst-3.5.1R2 file. When I try to install using the command

> sh ./MapManInst-3.5.1R2.bin

I get this output:

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...
strings: '/lib/libc.so.6': No such file

Launching installer...

./MapManInst-3.5.1R2.bin: /tmp/install.dir.14558/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
./MapManInst-3.5.1R2.bin: line 2432: /tmp/install.dir.14558/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: Success

As far as I can tell, no files are created by the intallation. I know from looking around in my directories that the file libc.so.6 is in the directory /lib64. There is also a file called ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 in the lib64 directory.

What can I do to make the install work. I'm relatively new to linux, and still getting the hang of things.

Thanks!

Hi Erin,

it's a 32 bit installer on a 64 bit environment standard problem.

To install MapMan here you should first install java in your system.

Just download the jar file installer and start it on your system.
In a console type:

java -jar MapManInst-3.5.1R2.jar

This will start the installer.
You will be asked during installation to tell the installer where the java virtual machine is installed.
To simplify you can type in a console "which java", this will give you the location of the installed java.

If you give me the java variant, version you have I could give you more precise advice if needed.


Sorry for the late reply,

Axel
