Preparing SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 for installation

You might have to complete additional steps to prepare a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 10 system for a WebSphere Application Server installation.

Before you begin

First, complete steps 1-10 in Preparing Linux systems for installation. Those steps are common to any Linux system.

Procedure

Because SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 10 was not available at the time that WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0 shipped, there are some special installation considerations to avoid known issues. For example, additional steps need to be taken to enable a successful installation of WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.1 on some 64-bit architectures. For more information see Attempting to install WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.1 on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 10 fails on 64-bit POWER and AMD64/EM64T architectures .

On the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 10 operating system, the xorg-x11-libs package exists, by default. This package contains the following libraries, which are required to properly operate WebSphere Application Server:
  • libXp
  • libXmu
  • libXtst
For more information on this package, see the Novell Web site.

To avoid potential national language or localization issues if you attempt to install the application server in a locale other than the United States, please reference the following technote: Installer for WebSphere Application Server fails to use the appropriate national language and localization on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Version 10

What to do next

After you complete the step in this topic, proceed to the final step in Preparing Linux systems for installation.
