chmod +x /root/cc/InstallerImage_linux/install
chmod +x /root/cc/launchpad/*.sh

cd /tmp
wget http://fermi.inf.unibz.it/cdimages/kernel-devel-2.6.9-89.0.25.EL.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i kernel-devel-2.6.9-89.0.25.EL.x86_64.rpm

up2date redhat-rpm-config rpm-build
up2date --get-source kernel
rpm -ivh /var/spool/up2date/kernel*.src.rpm
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
cp -a /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 /usr/src
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.9 /usr/src/linux

mkdir /var/adm/rational/clearcase

To update or modify launch the Installation Manager

/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/launcher

Run the command:

 cd /var/adm/rational/clearcase/mvfs/mvfs_src

Clean up the results of previous builds:

 make clean

Build the MVFS modules:

 make 

You will be prompted for the path to the Linux kernel source directory. The default prompt is /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build.

Install the newly built MVFS modules into the proper directory under /lib/modules, so that the MVFS modules will be loaded into the kernel when Rational ClearCase starts:

 make install

Restart Rational ClearCase.

 /opt/rational/clearcase/etc/clearcase stop
 /opt/rational/clearcase/etc/clearcase start

After the installation process has completed, test that Rational ClearCase has been properly installed by running the cleartool -version command. You should see output indicating the version of MVFS that has been installed, as in the following example.

 /opt/rational/clearcase/bin/cleartool -version
