Table 7. Frequently asked questions for UNIX-based systems installation (continued)
Problem Solution
Pressing the backspace key,
characters such as "^?" and "^H"
appear on the screen.
The backspace key appears to be
working correctly when entering
text, but you later find characters
such as "^?" and "^H" in
configuration files and your
software malfunctions.
If you receive one of these symptoms when using the backspace on UNIX
computers, you have incorrectly configured the backspace key.
Configure your terminal and "stty erase" to use the same key code for
backspace. Consider using "^?" as the key code. Verify your configuration with
the IBM Tivoli Monitoring distributed utility, Install: BackspaceCheckUtility.
When running the install.sh script
on a Linux system, I get a
Memory fault (core dump) at
different, random stages of the
installation, regardless of what
selections I make.
When I run the command "getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION" on my
system, the response I receive is "linuxthreads-0.10" or something similar. This is
caused by the /etc/profile entry of "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4". If I unset this
variable or change the value of /etc/profile to "2.6", the getconf command
returns "NPTL 2.3.4" or something like it. This enables me to run the install.sh
script without causing the memory fault.
OR
Changing the JAVA_COMPILER variable to NONE before upgrading allows me
to continue without hitting the core dump.
