I've got a fresh RHEL 6.2 64-bit instance on EC2. I've turned off the firewall and have  installed an FMS 4.5 dev server. In the logs directory I have admin and master logs (only). The admin logs look ok:

The FMS install failed, complaining about a missing libcap.so until I installed the libcap.i686 package. The following libcap packages are now installed:

libcap.i686                2.16-5.5.el6     @486357-us-east-1-rhel-server-releases
libcap.x86_64              2.16-5.5.el6     @10674490-override-0/$releasever
libcap-ng.x86_64           0.6.4-3.el6_0.1  @10674490-override-0/$releasever
libpcap.x86_64             14:1.0.0-6.20091201git117cb5.el6

Any help would be most appreciated.

I had the same problem on CentOS 6.2 x86_64, albeit not on EC2. It seems that the installer creates a symlink to the i686 libpcap (libcap.so.1 -> /lib/libcap.so.2) and fmsedge won't run with it. Manually removing that symlink and instead linking to the libcap.so.2 in /lib64 solved the problem for me.

cd /opt/adobe/fms

rm libcap.so.1

ln -s /lib64/libcap.so.2 libcap.so.1
