Sometimes a Linux deployment comes with a too small sized /tmp volume. Normally installers detects this and reports an error and stop the installation.
Sametime 11.x and Traveler 11.x only detects it, but continue with the message that the installer is now using /root as their temp folder in order to continue its installation.
When the installation failes with the following error: JRE libraries are missing or not compatible…. you never think it’s the /tmp or /root size which is causing it. Well…..it is.
You can do 2 things: remount /tmp with enough storage ( at least 2GB, ans sometimes 5GB ), or do the following:
- Logon as root
- cd \
- mkdir tmp2
- IATEMPDIR=/tmp2
- export IATEMPDIR
After this you can install Sametime and Travel using /tmp2 as its temporary folder
