Error description
When running an IBM Rational ClearCase "cleartool merge" or "cleartool diff" with the flags "-tiny" or "-window" on Linux the following error is returned: merge: Error: Unable to invoke "xterm": No such file or directory The error only occurs on Linux hosts that even with xterm installed. Tracing the command shows the following paths are searched: stat64("/usr/openwin/bin/xterm", 0xffe85cc8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/bin/X11/xterm", 0xffe85cc8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) If no xterm is found the error is returned. WORKAROUND: 1. Do not use "-tiny" or "-window" flags with merge 2. link or install xterm into /usr/bin/X11
