This was answered be Mark Walters (BMC) in response to my question. Install the 32bit stdc++ library
=====================================> Hi Mark, Thanks for responding & Happy New Year! Yeah. I figured the installer builds a few minimal tables with SQL and then uses arcache to build Demo and then launches a bunch of imports and loads. I followed the install guide which asked for libstc++.so.6 but only installed the x64 version. I did an ldd on arcache and sure enough it’s 32 bit and needs libstdc++.so.6 & 5. 5 seems to be on my machine. /opt/bmc/ARSystem/bin/arcache: libstdc++.so.6 (CXXABI_1.3) => not found I am getting good and deleting the table spaces, users, bmc directory, killing processes, and restarting the install – having had no end of issues with building PDBs and making them accessible, the ARS user not having read to tsnames.ora, wrong java version, and the like, so rerunning the installer is no problem I sure miss the stack installer !!! Thanks for your email.

I’ve just seen a similar problem where I had not installed the compat-libstdc++-33.x.x.x.i686 package to provide the 32 bit libstdc++.so.5 file required by the arcache binary. The install process goes something like this – connect to db and create minimal tables, install server binaries, start server, create temp installer user account using arcache, import remaining forms/workflow from defs. If arcache fails to create the temp install account then you’re left with a running server but you have no users and a lot of missing forms.

I am trying to install 9. During the install process (of ARS server only) I get this error: THROWABLE EVENT {Description=[Error from RIKJ command],Detail=[Your login failed, but connected as a guest user.]} After a bunch of these errors, the install claims to have failed BUT an arsystem start command brings it up – alas with no logins allowed – at least using the API & the mid-tier. Obviously I will have missed some important forms and data during the install. Anyone run into this while installing ITSM 9? What value does in the AR System Administrator prompt? I tried Demo with no password and Demo with a password.
