I am getting below error while installing Clearcase through installation manager. This is the command I ran:

./../IM_lnx_1.5/installc input /tmp/temp_response_file -acceptLicense -svp

It fails with below error:

to me it looks as you are missing key dependencies for clearcase.

you did not specify on what os you are trying to install.
