SPP2013.02B - Linux - HPSUM failed to run???

[chuckk281]

Chris was looking for help:

*************

I have just done a vanilla install of RHEL 6.4 onto DL380p Gen8 and unable to rum HPSUM on Linux.

I copied the all the files from the /hp/swpackages directory from the SPP DVD onto the local /var/SPP directory.

When I tried to run ./hpsum, nothing happen? 

Anyone have a cheatsheet on how to install SPP onto linux?

Thanks in advance.

Input from Hiro:

You need many additional packages to work hpsum...

Please see release notes for details.

And we released SPP supplement for RHEL6.4, so it’s better to use it.
