 109
 110                               <p>I downloaded the Rational 2003.06.00 release tarball that Carlos provided me and installed it on ranlin02. I have the following problem when trying to run Clearquest I get the following error:</p>
 111
 112 <div class=code><pre>
 113 <font  color="#3333ff"><b>Ranlin02:</b></font><u>/opt/rational/clearquest/bin/clearquest</u>
 114 /opt/rational/clearquest/rhat_x86/bin/clearquest_main: error while loading shared libraries: libXmu.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
 115 </pre></div>
 116
 117 <p>Looking at the <a
 118  href="http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21202987&amp;aid=1">ClearQuest
 119 and Clearquest MultiSite Release Notes</a> I find:</p>
 120
 121 <blockquote>
 122   <h3>Linux symbolic links to Motif libraries</h3>
 123
 124   <p>ClearQuest uses the Motif libraries native to the machine, and these libraries need to include the proper symbolic links. If the symbolic links are not established, the following error occurs when invoking</p>

 129
 130   <p>The error complains about the first of several libraries it cannot find. To insure that the symlinks are created, it is necessary that the</p>
 131
 132   <tt>XFree86-devel-*</tt><br>
 133
 134   <p>package be installed when installing the OS.</p>
 135 </blockquote>
 136
 137 <p>And, of course:</p>
 138
 139 <div class=code><pre>
 140 <font color="#3333ff"><b>Ranlin02:</b></font><u>rpm -qa | grep XFree86-devel</u>
 141 <font color="#3333ff"><b>Ranlin02</b></font>:
 142 </pre></div>
 143
 144 <p>So can we get XFree86-devel-* installed?</p>
 145
 146 <p>On a different but related note, we generally support only Sun and only csh (and it's derivatives - tcsh). We have a serious of csh style start up scripts (which I've largely replicated/converted for bash...) one of which sources /prj/muosran/config/cq_setup.csh. That is merely a copy of a /opt/rational/clearquest/bin/cq_setup.csh. Contained therein is a reference to sun5 which is bad because this source of /prj/muosran/config/cq_setup.csh is global and thus sourced by users of Linux machines. Naturally Linux user will not be finding any sun5 executables nor executing them.</p>
 147
 148 <p>I've made a modification to /proj/muosran/config/cq_setup.csh as such:</p>
 149
 150 <div class=code><pre>
 151 #!/bin/csh -f<br><br>#  Andrew@DeFaria.com 07-25-2007: By specifying sun5 we tie
 152 # ourselves to an architecture. There is no need to do this.
 153 # Call the clearquest in /opt/rational/clearquest/bin and let
 154 # it figure out our architecture.
 155
 156 #eval `/opt/rational/clearquest/sun5/bin/clearquest -dumpcsh`<br>eval `/opt/rational/clearquest/bin/clearquest -dumpcsh`
 157
 158 set var = $status
 159 if ($var != 0) then
 160     unset var
 161     exit(2)
 162 endif
 163 unset var
 164
 165 #echo "You can now run 'clearquest' to start Rational ClearQuest."
 166 </pre></div>
 167
 168 <p>Still all of this seem pretty arbitrary. What is the above script doing but checking that clearquest can simply be run? Why set an environment variable (var) only to test it and then ultimately unset it?!? Seems like really odd and unnecessary code from IBM/Rational.</p>
