Errors Installing IBM Director 5.2 agents for VMware Vi3 3.01

[nordsj]

Anyone ran across this error I am receiving below.

1. Putty into console, su - as root, chmod 777 on the script (basically all the permissions in the world now)

2. Tried FTPing via bin and acsii (used command line FTP and WinSCP)

3. Copied the *SH files directly off of IBM director 5.2 CD

4. Pulled the rest of my hair out

And yet I still get this error.

./dir5.20_agent_linux.sh self-extracting installation program... Please wait...

tar: Skipping to next header

tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers

tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

./dir5.20_agent_linux.sh: line 125: ./dirinstall: No such file or directory

\[root@esx01 joel]# ./dir5.20_agent_linux.sh -r ./diragent.rsp

./dir5.20_agent_linux.sh: line 125: ./dirinstall: No such file or directory

Thx

Just ran into the exact same problem ... Anyone?

Ok, got it: Seems to be a problem with the extracting process.

Copy the TAR over to ESX and extract it there with "tar -xvf ".

What file did you use? because on the Director 5.2 CD it's not compressed, could you send me the link to the file you're using?

thx!

I downloaded it from here (login required, therefore no direct link): http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/management/director/downloads.html

The filename is something like "dir5.20_agent_linux.tar". Will check the exact filename tomorrow.
