Supported platforms
Both the Klocwork Server and User packages are supported on the following operating systems (except where noted). This means that Klocwork has performed the full test suite on these operating systems with certain hardware and will provide technical support as specified in the Klocwork support policies.
Note: It is not possible to use Klocwork tools with SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) enabled.
| Processor | Operating system |

| IBM Power5 64 bit |
IBM AIX 5.3, TL 7 (Server package only) |
Operating system patches and packages
The following patches or packages are required for running Klocwork products (either server or user installations) on certain operating systems. They are in addition to the regular maintenance patches for your operating system.
| If you are installing on... | you need... |
| Solaris 8, 9, or 10 | The patches required for Java 1.6. Klocwork installs and uses Java 1.6. The requirements for Java are listed in the Sun release notes: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/install/jre/install-solaris.html#requirements This page also provides a link for downloading recommended and required patches. |
| Solaris 8 | Sun OS patch 108434-03 |
| Solaris 8, 9, or 10 | The zlib package (not required if you are installing only Klocwork Architect or Klocwork developer tools). a) Check that the zlib package is installed. To check that the zlib package is installed, either run $ pkginfo |grep zlib or look for a file called libz.so under /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib. If the zlib package is installed, you will see the package SUNWzlib, or SMCzlib, or both packages. b) If the zlib package is not installed, install it. There are two methods. Method 1. Install it from the Solaris 8 Software CD 2 of 2. Mount the CD to the system (it should mount automatically. If it doesn’t, mount it manually). $ su – # pkgadd –d /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_8/Product SUNWzlib This command installs zlib to /usr/lib. Method 2. Install it from a downloaded package. Download the zlib package from http://sunfreeware.com. # gzip –d zlib-1.x.x-sol8-sparc-local.gz # pkgadd –d ./zlib-1.x.x-sol8-sparc-local This command installs zlib to /usr/local/lib. |
| Solaris 8 or 9 | GTK Note: The minimum version required to run Klocwork Desktop, part of the Klocwork Desktop Command Line in the User Package, is GTK 2.2.1. To install GTK, perform the following steps: Switch to super user: $ su - Make sure the pkg-get tool is installed. For details about pkg-get, refer to: http://www.sunfreeware.com/pkg-get.html Update your local copy of the catalog (optional): # pkg-get -U Download and install GTK and all its dependencies automatically: # pkg-get -i gtk Switch back to the normal user: # exit Note: pkg-get installs all software to /opt/csw. Export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to /opt/csw/lib before running GTK. |
| Linux x86, 64-bit | The 32-bit compatibility libraries must be installed. Klocwork Insight works on 64-bit platforms in 32-bit emulation mode, so in order for Klocwork Insight to work on Linux 64-bit platforms, you must ensure that the 32-bit libraries are installed. The way you check and install 32-bit libraries depends on your Linux distribution. For example, for Ubuntu, run the following command to install 32-bit compatibility libraries: $ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs |
| Linux x86, 64-bit | The 32-bit version of the libncursesw library must be installed.
|
| Any Linux distribution that does not install the X11 version of X Window by default | xorg-XFree86-deprecated-libs |
| Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 4 | libpng10-1.0.13-8.i386.rpm |
| Ubuntu 6.06 | libxp-dev |
Operating systems that support Flexera FLEXnet ID Dongles
A FLEXnet ID Dongle is a hardware key, also referred to as a dongle, used to lock software access to the machine on which it is physically installed.
You can use FLEXnet ID Dongles in situations where you:
- cannot release any system information such as MAC addresses or IP addresses
- cannot share a license server between multiple sites
There is more information on FLEXnet ID Dongles on the Flexera Web site.
To use Flexera FLEXnet ID Dongles, use one of the following operating systems with the appropriate FLEXnet driver, with HOSTID_FLEXid9 using FLEXnet 10.8.2.1. You can obtain the appropriate driver for your operating system from Klocwork Customer Support.
| Operating system | FLEXnet driver installer |
| aksusbd-redhat-1.8.1-3.i386.rpm |
| FLEXidInstaller.exe, FLEXid.exe or FLEXidsilent.exe |
| FLEXId_Dongle_Driver_Installer.exe (choose the FLEXid9 driver) |
Notes:
- You must install Flexera FLEXnet ID Dongles at the root/Administrator privilege. For Unix, use su/sudo. For Windows, use an Administrator group.
- After installing Flexera FLEXnet ID Dongles on Windows, restart the Klocwork Servers.
- The Linux Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) installer emits an error message about checkpc. Ignore the error message.
Disk space requirements
Disk space requirements for installation
A complete installation requires 400 to 450 Mbytes for installation. Additional disk space is required temporarily during installation.
Disk space requirements for data storage
Klocwork Insight data includes the source files, configuration files, object files, tables, and the database. The total disk space needed for a single integration-build analysis will be the total of all this data. If you use Klocwork incremental analysis, the object file size and table size is needed only once per project.
Some sample projects to show how size can vary
| Project | Language | Lines of code | Object file size (Mbytes) | Table size (Mbytes) | Database size (Mbytes) | Total size (Mbytes) |
| Boost | C/C++ | 6,300 | 393 | 17 | 84 | 494 |
| Firefox | C/C++ | 1,200,000 | 2,800 | 606 | 702 | 4,108 |
| X.org | C | 1,500,000 | 2,600 | 608 | 720 | 3,928 |
| Linux | C | 2,300,000 | 7,200 | 1,100 | 1,200 | 9,500 |
| Common C++ | C/C++ | 20,000 | 168 | 23 | 45 | 236 |
| Python | C | 192,000 | 114 | 52 | 84 | 250 |
| MySQL | C/C++ | 350,000 | 781 | 133 | 167 | 1,081 |
Processor and RAM requirements
Server and complete installations
- Processor speed: 2 GHz or better
- RAM: 2 Gbytes. More than 2 Gbytes may be required for very large analyses. Note that the size of a build and its RAM requirements depend not only on the lines of code, but also on the number and complexity of relationships in the code. If you are using parallel or multicore processing, you should allocate a minimum of 1 GB of memory per processor or core. You can also improve Klocwork performance with multiple core processors.
User installations
| Klocwork client | Processor speed | RAM |
| Klocwork for C/C++ | 1 GHz or better | 1 Gbyte. On Windows and with precompiled headers, the minimum RAM is 2 GB. |
| Klocwork for Java | 1 GHz or better | 1 Gbyte. |
| Architect | 1 GHz or better | 1-2 Gbytes recommended |
| Klocwork Review and Klocwork Inspect | 1 GHz or better | 1-2 Gbytes recommended |
Java Virtual Machine requirements
Windows
Insight detects which version--if any--of Java you have installed. If you don't have Java installed or you're using a version of Java earlier than Oracle (formerly Sun) Java 1.6 Update 29, the Server, User or Distributed Analysis installation package will install 1.6 Update 29. Your system must meet the requirements for this version of Java.
The installation package will automatically detect if you have a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system and will install the appropriate version of Java.
Linux and Solaris
Insight installs Java 1.6 Update 29. Your system must meet the requirements for this version of Java.
On Linux, there is a separate installation package for both 32-bit and 64-bit Java. Select the one that matches your operating system.
Only 32-bit Java is supported for Solaris.
Mac
You must install JVM 1.6 Update 29 or later on your machine before installing the Klocwork Server or User package. If you have a previous JVM version installed and you try to install the Server or User package, you will see the error message, "Version of Java is too old". Apple supplies their own version of Java. Use the Software Update feature on your Mac.
Only 32-bit Java is supported for Mac.
AIX
Insight installs and uses IBM Java 1.6, so your system must meet the requirements for Java 1.6. At the time of publication, the link to supported system configurations for IBM Java 1.6 was:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/aix/service.html
Only 32-bit Java is supported for AIX.
IDE plug-ins
The Klocwork Desktop Java Plug-ins for Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA require Java 1.6. You must ensure that your IDE is running on Oracle (Sun) Java 1.6.
