Alfresco 3.0b: Install error (Linux)

[evanbrown]

I'm trying to install Alfresco 3.0b on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (64 bit).

I've installed Java (v6 Update 10).

I get the following error when trying to run the install script:

./Alfresco-Labs-3b-Linux-x86-Install
failed to load library "/installkitvfs/lib/itcl/libitcl3.3.so": could not load file from temp location
    while executing
"load /installkitvfs/lib/itcl/libitcl3.3.so Itcl"
    ("package ifneeded" script)
    invoked from within
"package require Itcl"
    (in namespace eval "::" script line 3697)
    invoked from within
"namespace eval $namespace $::InstallJammer::files($file)"
    (procedure "::InstallJammer:ourceCachedFile" line 3)
    invoked from within
"::InstallJammer:ourceCachedFile common.tcl"
    (file "/installkitvfs/main.tcl" line 30907)

I've followed the steps on the Wiki.  What am I doing wrong?  What do I need to install to run the Alfresco installer?

Am I using the wrong installer or something (it says Alfresco 3.0b x86 in the filename - is there a special x86_64 version or something?)

Any help much appreciated.

Thank you

I am not sure if you were reading my steps on this page for linux install:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Installing_Labs_3_on_Linux_with_command_line_interface
I am thinking you might not have the JAVA environment correct or the permissions on the install file might be wrong.
Try my install steps and see what happens.
I have not tried JAVA 6u10 yet.
Let me know.

Yes, I'd set JAVA_HOME.  It doesn't seem like a JAVA issue to me - something about not being able to load the object orientated extensions for TCL instead.

In the end, I just downloaded the Tomcat bundle and deployed that myself.  I don't need WCM and the other stuff anyway.

Thanks for the reply.

I had the same problem with RHEL5, and I think it was because /tmp was set to be a non executable directory.

I resolved with these steps:
1) edit /etc/fstab and remove 'noexec' flag from tmp
2) remount /tmp:  "> mount -o remount /tmp"
3) then run the installation as instructed

Set /tmp back to non executable if desired.
