problems installing Sun portal on fedora core 4
hi,
I'm trying to install the entire Sun Enterprise Java Suite on an intel machine running fedora core 4. the installation hangs during the portal install.
there was a previous posting about the exact same problem (http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=80&threadID=52866), but no real resolution was given. was wondering if anyone has encountered the same problem and has a work-around.
the problem does seem related to the installation's use of ksh.i made sure this was installed in the correct place for the install (/bin/ksh). i ran the installer script with the -debug option. the last entry is as follows:
(Local) logging to /var/opt/sun/install/logs/Java_Enterprise_System_install.B01061221: RPM sun-portal-portletsample-config successfully installed.
RPM sun-portal-portletsample-config: rpmInstallPath was resolved to: /
RPM sun-portal-portletsample-config: installation location chosen is /
RPM sun-portal-portletsample-config: rpmInstallPath was resolved to: /
RPM sun-portal-portletsample-config: installation location chosen is /
but i do not see any signs of errors. the install just hangs at 45% done.
thank you for your help.

thanks for the advice, Wes. received your email.
was successfully able to get the entire 2005Q4 JES installed on fedora core 3. i belive this has a slightly earlier version (v6?) of the portal.
decided not to bother with fedora 4, and i do not have a copy of red hat enterprise to install on.
just a few installation notes for anyone attempting to do this.
1. make sure selinux is disabled before installing. open /etc/selinux/config and set SELINUX to disabled.
2. make sure your system has the package compat-libstdc++. specifically, i belive the installation requires libstdc++-6.2.2.
[root@localhost selinux]# rpm -qa | grep compat-lib
compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2
compat-libstdc++-devel-8-3.3.4.2
[root@localhost selinux]# rpm -q -l compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2
/usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8
/usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8.0
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9.dummy
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7
[root@localhost selinux]# rpm -qa | grep compat-lib
compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2
compat-libstdc++-devel-8-3.3.4.2
[root@localhost selinux]# rpm -q -l compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.2
/usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8
/usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9.dummy
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7
3. make sure korn shell is installed at /bin/ksh.
4. run the installer utiltiy.
in my opinion Sun needs to support more than just the list of platforms they give. it's too restrictive and bad marketing in my opinion; all of the other major portals work on various linuxes fine.
