When using certain versions of Linux, you may receive errors indicating problems with loading shared libraries.

An example of errors seen is:

error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
>> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is a known problem with the version of InstallAnywhere used to create the distribution packages for geWorkbench. The problem will be fixed in coming geWorkbench distributions. However, in general, the installer file can be patched as follows:

Run a command like the following to comment out the line giving problems:

perl -pi -e 's/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/'geWorkbench_v1.0.5_Linux_installer.bin

and then run

sh ./geWorkbench_v1.0.5_Linux_installer.bin
