The installation of Workload Scheduler master component fails during the Prerequisite Check because the bc executable is missing on the system

Question

The installation of the master component stops because the Prerequisite Check tool fails to run.

Error message:

37 INFO  02:30.96 executePRScript(/tmp/IMC_01010000,prs.tws.script.cfg.unix): Enter. 
38 INFO  02:32.52 PRS command used for execution:echo IMC=IMC >> /tmp/IMC_01010000/
   codename.cfg&&chmod -R 755/tmp/IMC_01010000&&/tmp/IMC_01010000/prereq_checker.sh

39 ERROR  02:32.53 PRS job is finished. Results are not available. 
40 WARNING  02:32.53 Error occurred while executing executePRScript. 

Running manually the prereq_checker.sh I receive the following error message:

CTGPR2514E: Ensure that the binary for bc is available on the local system and is set
            in the PATH environment variable.

Answer 1

The binary for bc is missing on your system. It must be installed before you run the Prerequisite Check.
