How to configure Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 to run Rational ClearCase

Question & Answer


Question

How do you configure a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 system to install and run IBM Rational ClearCase?

Cause

ClearCase requires some system packages which may not be installed on your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 system. These packages must be installed before you install and configure ClearCase.

Answer

The set of packages that must be installed depends on the system architecture (X86_64, PPC or S390). The system's installer is able to detect if a package is already installed on the system, so it will not be reinstalled.
