Environment

Novell GroupWise 2014
Novell GroupWise 2012
Novell GroupWise 8
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux

Situation

Groupwise 2014 install fails to launch
Running ./install.sh from the GroupWise Install directory prints something really quick and then clears the screen or terminal window.
Installer will not run, can't start or execute.

Resolution

See documentation Section 4.1, Hardware and Operating System Requirements:
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11, plus the latest Service Pack
  • Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 11, plus the latest Support Pack

Verify the server's operating system meets these requirements:
cat /etc/*release

Cause

The installer fails to launch or run because the GroupWise 2014 Operating System Requirements are not met.
