A possibly silly question, but do the permissions for weblogic_pc include executable in all the right places? If so, is weblogic_pc a binary, or some form of script? I've found that almost always when I'm executing a script and get this message, it isn't the script itself that is missing, but

While I'm on the topic - is there a redbook or other document that discusses best practices for managing software installation on a Linux system? If I download the Mono RPMs is there a directory that RPMs are expected to be in? Is there one that's commonly used by Linux admins? Seems to me a

I wouldn't recommend putting them anywhere under /usr/src/packages/. That's where you would build new RPMs, and someone else coming along might not recognize them as vendor-supplied. Essentially, if you're only going to install something on one system, where the RPMs are located at the point

You don't even need to download RPMs to install them. You can use rpm -Uhv http://... or other URL. If you do want to put them somewhere then /usr/src/packages/RPMS/s390x is probably as good as place as any, but as soon as they are installed you can delete them. The install process extracts the

On a SUSE or Red Hat system, RPM is the only way software should be installed. As you mention, there have been things wrapped around it to make software installation easier. YaST is SUSE's method. Red Carpet is a Novell product. Red Hat's is up2date. Both call RPM for you, after all

Well, it's a cart-before-the-horse kind of thing: I have to install Mono to prove we can run ASP.NET before we go forward to virtualizing servers, etc. I agree that if RPM is the installer, you shouldn't bypass it: I wouldn't do that for SMP/E on my z/OS box! I'm making progress... most of the
