Error al instalar OHTTP, instalar la libreria para linux red-hat 6.3

From the logs there seems to be an issue installing Oracle Configuration Manager.
I had a similar problem in the past it was down to the following packages not being installed in linux

glibc-devel and glibc - 32bit

Once I installed them and reinstalled the common components installed successfully.

Cheers

ulimit -n 4096

4. Manually configured the File descriptor limit to 4096 as required by the installer with the following command:

root@computer# ulimit -n 4096

Install Open Source VMware Tools on Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS/Scientific Linux 6

Install Open Source VMware Tools on Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS/Scientific Linux 6

VMware now makes a repository available for us to install the VMware tools for a variety of Linux distributions including Red Hat, Scientific, CentOS, and Ubuntu.  In this example I will install VMware tools on a Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS/Scientific Linux 6 guest running on a VMware ESXi 4.1 host.
First import the VMware repository GPG signing public keys:
# rpm --import http://packages.vmware.com/tools/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-DSA-KEY.pub
# rpm --import http://packages.vmware.com/tools/keys/VMWARE-PACKAGING-GPG-RSA-KEY.pub
Now add the VMware repository.  If you’d like you can use the “echo” command below or simply create the file and its contents are listed below it.  There are other packages available in the repository for other Linux distros, architectures, and ESX host versions.  Again I am using the Red Hat Enterprise 6/VMware ESXi 4.1 version.
# echo -e "[vmware-tools]\nname=VMware Tools\nbaseurl=http://packages.vmware.com\
/tools/esx/4.1latest/rhel6/\$basearch\nenabled=1\ngpgcheck=1" > /etc/yum.repos.d\
/vmware-
tools.repo
Now we can list the contents of the new repo file:
[root@server1 ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/vmware-tools.repo
Here is what the contents should look like:
[vmware-tools]
name=VMware Tools
baseurl=http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/4.1latest/rhel6/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

It is now time to run the actual install of VMware tools.  In my case I am installing on a server system without X11 graphical interface so this is the minimum install:
# yum -y install vmware-open-vm-tools-nox
If you are installing on a workstation or server with X11 installed and would like the VMware display adapter and mouse drivers loaded use this command.  The install will be a bit bigger:
# yum -y install vmware-open-vm-tools
You are now up and running with VMware tools!
