The packages ‘bc’ (basic calculator), ‘acct’ (‘psacct’ on RedHat) for accounting, and ‘sysstat’ (commands like sar and iostat) must all be installed must both be installed on your system. You can check for their presence on most Linux distributions by use of the following commands:

rpm -q -a |grep bc
rpm -q -a |grep acct
rpm -q -a |grep sysstat

These packages may be installed using the rpm command from the root user. To achieve this, run the following commands from the directory where the files are located:

rpm -i <package-name>.rpm

For example:

rpm -i sysstat-8.0.1-1.i386.rpm

You must locate the appropriate level of the software for use with your Linux distribution.

Note: If you ever re-compile your kernel you need to ensure that the BSD Process Accounting option is enabled in the General options heading when running make config or make xconfig. This sets the following variable in the .config file for the make:
CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT=y

 In addition you must set this to generate newer format accounting files where it is possible to do by setting the BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format option. This sets the following variable in the .config file for the make:

CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3=y

If this is not in effect you will need to contact Precisely Support to discuss which Acquire is available that is be suitable for your needs. With the wrong kind of Acquire you will see numbers instead of command names in accounting data.
