Environment

NetIQ eDirectory

Situation

When running nds-install on RedHat, the install is unable to install google-perftools and returns the error:
Unable to install .../google-perftools-1.8.1-7.2.x86_64.rpm, Exiting

Attempt to manually install google-perftools shows:

rpm -Uhv ./google-perftools-1.8.1-7.2.x86_64.rpm
Preparing...                        ################################################  [100%]
              file /usr/bin/pprof from install of google-perftools-1.8.1-7.2.x86_64 conflicts with file from
              package pprof-2.0-11.el6.3.noarch

Resolution

Uninstall pprof package provided by the RedHat channel and then rerun nds-install

Cause

Google perftools can be installed via the pprof package in the Enterprise Linux Extras for Redhat.  If this package is installed when the nds-install is run, the install will quit when it encounters the already installed /usr/bin/pprof from a different vendor than NetIQ
