Hi all, I posted this question in some other place, then found this Linux forum I hope I can get help.
I am trying to install SAP on Linux for System z. I read all pre-reqs, and I believe I have the correct OS and java levels according to SAP Notes. Here is what I did so far:
Downloaded the "Installation master" to my laptop and then FTPed to the Linux System (on System z).
Unzipped the "installation master" using Linux UNZIP. I think it worked and it actually created a bunch of subdirectories.
I created 2 groups (sapinst, and sapsys) using defaults (nothing special?) and made root member of these 2 groups
From root: did ./sapinst. It failed with a message like this:
sapinst: Access denied.
Any help on what I could be missing will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
Please look at the permission of this file and try to grant the access:
chmod 777./sapinst
Hope it can help..

Dear Ashraf,
Additionally, please take into account, that you should never start sapinst from the installation directory itself by calling ./sapinst. Please do it the following way:
mkdir -p /tmp/install
cd /tmp/install
/path/to/IM/sapinst
Thanks,

Hannes, thanks for the help. Here is the output from "ldd sapinst"
ldd sapinst

/lib/ld64.so.1 => /lib/ld64.so.1 (0x0000020000000000)
and here is the output from "file sapinst"
file sapinst
sapinst: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, IBM S/390, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
Please keep in mind that I did a "chmod 777 sapinst" bease on an earlier suggestion in this forum and that made the sapinst to work fine.
Please let me know if you see any potential problems with the above. Thanks
