Missing operating system prerequisites frequently cause installation failures.Consult this information to find the required operating system levels:
Common install errors on in-service releases of IHS
RHEL 6 and later no longer include ksh (korn shell) by default, which is required by the IHS post-install script SetupAdm.ant.
64-bit distributions of Linux often don't implicitly contain the 32-bit libraries required by 32-bit IHS installers. The 32-bit/64-bit issue is covered in detail in the subtopics here
A common symptom of this problem is an immediate return to the console when launching the installer, or failure to run ikeyman with complains about loading the "awt" library.

Does the Java installed with IHS get updated when a fixpack is installed?
For IHS 8.0 and newer, the Java that is installed under the IHS install directory is updated when an IHS fixpack is installed.
For earlier versions (IHS 7.0, 6.1, etc.), you must separately apply a WAS SDK fixpack/iFix to update the Java that is installed with IHS.
