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.
- //Comment: make sure to check your sources first, these are the default settings (works with them!)
- # 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
- //Comment: Add the architection i386
- # dpkg --add-architecture i386
- //Comment: Update the packet manager
- # apt-get update
- //Comment: Install the package
- # apt-get install ia32-libs
Now you should be able to install pmp. By running the following commands, you should get the following.
- chmod a+x ManageEngine_PMP.bin
- ./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 ;)
