How to resolve some issues during installation.

[root@911 ~]# tail -f TCR211InstallMessage00.log
Jan 20, 2014 1:50:15 PM com.ibm.tivoli.reporting.advanced.cognos.installer.actions.CheckTemporarySpaceAction customInstall
INFO: CTGTRI662I The summary of temporary space: On drive: /tmp; The partition: /; The available space: 8982691840; The required space: 500000000.
Jan 20, 2014 1:53:01 PM com.ibm.tivoli.reporting.advanced.cognos.installer.actions.CheckDiskSpaceAction customInstall
INFO: CTGTRI726I Available disk space: 8,565; Disk space required for installation: 3,106; Disk space required for temp directory: 476;


Next go to /opt/IBM/tivoli/tcr/logs.zip  and run a search on any file (unzip first ) with some errors.
find . -name \* -exec grep -i error {} \;

If there are some libraries missing like 'libXm.so.3',  openmotif - these have to be  downloaded
and installed before proceeding. ( rpm - Uvh <> )

During installation - look at files being created in the root folder. Files like TIPInstaller-00.log, TCR211InstallMessage00.log  give hints of the installation steps.
