You problem can be solved if you (or Linux admin) update the system to
meet TSM client requirements. As per readme file:
Linux kernel 2.2.x                (for x=13 or higher)
or
Linux kernel 2.4.x                (for x=0 or higher)
glibc 2.1.x, 2.2                  (for x=2 or higher)
libstdc++ 2.9.x                   (for x=0 or higher)
X Windows System X11R6            (for end user GUI only)
RPM 3.0.x or 4.0                  (for x=0 or higher)
RH 7.0 conforms to these requirements and Tivoli made the tests using it
so is certified. But if RH 6.2 box meets the requirements it should run
v4.2 client without any problems.
This was discussed long time ago. Look in archives for thread "ANS4031E error - 
TSM Client 4.2 and RH 7" on 23.08.2001

Subject:        Re: Linux Client on TSM

I have the same problem.  Asked Tivoli and was bluntly told that TSM 4.2
is only supported on (I guess you are using Red Hat?) Red Hat 7.0 or
higher.  For RH 6.2 you need to run the TSM 4.1 client.

The Sched jobs keeps dying (and I have three of them).  So until I can
upgrade to RH7.x I am starting the backups manually through the web
client.  Works fine and since I have a small linux box (2 GB of data to
backup incremental) it's not too bad.

Let me know if you figure it out!

Hi TSMers

Please could you let me know if on Linux 6.2  you can use TSM Linux Client
4.2.1 ?

I am experiencing problems with starting the services after the
installation.

Thanks
