Installing Installation Manager on Solaris x86 results in "launcher.ini was not found anywhere!" error

 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
The install command "install --launcher.ini silent-install.ini" fails with "find cycle" errors and "launcher.ini" can not be found.
 
Symptom
Attempt to run a silent install using Installation Manager on Solaris x86 results in the error:

# install --launcher.ini silent-install.ini
find: cycle detected for /lib/32/
find: cycle detected for /lib/secure/32/
find: cycle detected for /usr/lib/locale/common/32/

find: cycle detected for /usr/lib/link_audit/32/
find: cycle detected for /usr/lib/libp/32/
install: --launcher.ini was not found anywhere!

 
Cause
The install command is run from the wrong location.
The "install" program is trying to access the Solaris x86 install program instead of the IBM Installation Manager program.
 
Resolving the problem
To resolve the problem:
  1. Open a command prompt and cd to the directory where IBM Installation Manager resides

  2. Run the command:

    # ./install --launcher.ini silent-install.ini

    This will make the system look for the install program in the local directory instead of using the PATH's in the environment variables.
