More IDS install woe ...
Neil Truby
More JavaShite problems with the normal install and get the stuff below
starting ++++++. Even Surnam's workaround of extracting the .jvm.bin can't
save me this time.
Try the RPM install:
sh CZ79JEN_ids_115_fc6_ee_rpm.bin
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...
Launching installer...
Failed to find VM - aborting
Fixed that by Googling and unsetting some vital security feature ;-))))
[root@jp-1 11.5]# rpm -i iif-11.50.FC6-0.x86_64.rpm
Installation failed
exit status = 1
error: %post(iif-11.50.FC6-0.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
Why IS this so difficult????????!!!!!!!!!
Any ideas greatefully received,. thanks.

This works for me installing IIF_11.50.FC6W1, no java home set, no path to
java.
Yes, it's worked for me fine on other servers too. I have problems on
perhaps one install in ten. It's not within my power always to use the same
Linux distro or version. This one is an RHEL 5.4 install straight out of the
box.
My point is that the Java-based scripting was introduced for, so far as I
can see, no good reason at all. It adds no discernible functionality BUT,
if there's an issue, you are basically stuffed, and can't install IDS. I
resent its introduction.
I've tried 2 or 3 times but never managed to install with the new rpm
method.

In your case it seems that the GNU java is installed and used.
The answer from the previous poster should work.
Otherwise, I can only agree with you (in my purely personal
opinion).

In my installation on Ubuntu, steps below seem to work, please check
this
1) cd $INFORMIXDIR
2) . ./.jvm-bin
3) ./ids-install -javahome /home/informix/ids1150

With new 11.50 fixpacks, we are offering two different Media types for Linux.
1. Regular media, continues to work the same way as all previous fixpacks.
2. RPM media, which uses a wrapper installer (.bin file), to copy out the RPM based install media.
As far as installation goes, after invoking the . bin file, going through installer prompts, it copies out a RPM file.
Follow the enclosed steps:
1. Prior to invoking the RPM file, ensure no external java is picked up as indicated in earlier response
/usr/bin/which: no java in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/root/bin)
2. Start RPM installer using rpm command with switches.
3. To override defaults, modify bundle.ini provided in the media.
Set the IFXRESFILE variable as needed for your environment, to the path/bundle.ini
For more details, refer to IDS unix installation guide. It can be accessed via infocenter link as enclosed
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v115/index.jsp
Hope this helps.
Thanx,
Sundar

That's lovely, but can't the mentally enfeebled among just get a
frickin' tarball?

root's path should be simple (default for the os), just export
INFORMIXDIR and then run
./installserver -legacy to extract the installation files into an
'old' type folder, cd into there and install as before
I had no problems with 11.50.FC6W1 on RHEL4.

Not the RPM but the shipping of a specific JRE with the install.
But hey unset JAVA_HOME is pretty easy except that you have to probably also remove /usr/bin from your path so you don't pick up /usr/bin/java.
Wouldn't it be easier to require that a version X or later of Java be found and then if you're using RPM, check the RPM repository to see what was installed?
Hmmm, that would be too simple.
Note: This isn't something Gumby thought up. Too many RPM packages are already doing just this.
