Installing PasswordManagerPro (pmp) on Debian Wheezy 7 64bit

Installing PasswordManagerPro (pmp) on Debian Wheezy 7 64bit

I wanted to install pmp on a 64bit Debian linux system and ran into the problem, that the installer would start but end without a error message.

After some searching I found the solution.  The PMP is built for 32bit systems, so you need to install the ia32-libs package.
In some linux distros, the 32bit architecture is not enabled (package manager) so you can't just install the package.

Here is how you fix that.
  1. //Comment: make sure to check your sources first, these are the default settings (works with them!)
  2. # vi /etc/apt/sources.list

        deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main
        deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main

        deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main
        deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main

        deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
        deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main









  3. //Comment: Add the architection i386
  4. # dpkg --add-architecture i386
  5. //Comment: Update the packet manager
  6. # apt-get update
  7. //Comment: Install the package
  8. # apt-get install ia32-libs
Now you should be able to install pmp. By running the following commands, you should get the following.
  1. chmod a+x ManageEngine_PMP.bin
  2. ./ManageEngine_PMP.bin -console

That's what worked for me. On other linux distributions you might run into different errors, for example.

On CentOS 5 you have to remount the /tmp folder with -oexec because pmp needs to be able to execute binaries in the /tmp/ folder.

Hope I could save someone the time figuring this out. Thanks to the internet (and its citizens) for providing the info, I just put it all together ;)
