Install WAS 7.0 on RHEL 6

Question

I am trying to install Websphere 7 x64 on RHEL 6 x64.

I am using Developer edition.

When I try to execute ./install on the command prompt, it waits for few seconds and then returns to prompt without any error.

I have installed all the pre-requisites as listed in this article:

Any idea how to troubleshoot this ?

The following logs may be helpful: Browse the relevant log files for clues:

• The main installation log file: app_server_root/logs/log.txt.
• The profile creation log for creating the profile: app_server_root/logs/manageprofiles/profile_name_create.log.
• IBM® HTTP Server log:
  • IHS_root/logs/install/log.txt if the installation completed
  • user_temp/ihslogs/log.txt if the installation was interrupted, or user_temp/ihslogs/log_date_stamp.time_stamp.txt if installation finishes but is unsuccessful or for some other reason cannot be copied to IHS_root/logs/install/log.txt
• The log files produced when the default application .ear file is installed are: app_server_root/profiles/profile_name/logs/defaultapp_config.log and app_server_root/profiles/profile_name/logs/defaultapp_deploy.log.
• Other logs for other applications for a profile in the app_server_root/profiles/profile_name/logs directory.
