5.1.8 Verifying the required rpm-build package is installed
This procedure describes how to verify that the rpm-build package is installed on
Linux. This package must be installed before you run the Tivoli middleware
installer. This applies only if you are installing on Linux. To verify that the
rpm-build package is installed, perform the following steps:
1. 1. Run rpm -qa | grep build
2. If the command returns a value like "rpm-build-4.3.3.-18_nonptl", the
rpm-build package is installed. If nothing is returned, you must install the
rpm-build package which is located on disk 3 (of 5) of the Red Hat Essentials
Advanced Server version 4 installation CDs using the rpm tool with the -i
option

for the system prior to using the Tivoli middleware installer. To set the ulimit,
complete the following steps: 1. From a command line, type ulimit -f unlimited 2.

equivalent to twice the amount of physical RAM in the machine. Additional swap
space can be made available to the system by:
increasing the size of the existing swap partition
creating a new, additional swap partition
creating a swap file
