Just figured this out. Ubuntu is not supported. There is a workaround
however. Basically you need to trick the agent into thinking the system
is RHEL. First create a file under /etc called
Code:
--------------------
redhat-release
--------------------


Use nano or another text tool to insert the following text:

Code:
--------------------
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 4 (Tikanga)
--------------------


They key issue with getting the agent to run in Ubuntu is installed the
ia32-libs 32-bit library. This is no longer maintained in current
repositories.

Now if you are using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or newer you will need to "pin"
the repository packages to an older version of Ubuntu. I was working on
12.04. To this end I created a new file under /etc/apt called
preferences. If using version 12.04 enter the following text with nano
or your favorite text editor:

Code:
--------------------
Package: *
Pin: release a=precise*
Pin-Priority: 2012
--------------------


Then run the following to upgrade apt:

Code:
--------------------
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
--------------------


Reboot the machine

Then install ia32-libs:

Code:
--------------------
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch
--------------------


Please note that you may need to install a series of dependencies first.
The system will prompt you for these.

Then install the agent like normal and start the agent. You should be
all set.
