I am currently trying to install Splunk a Linux Centos box. I have tried to install both the .RPM and TAR files for Splunk but I keep getting this error:

I've Also tried forcing the installation but no luck. 

Thank you,

@klaxdal  I checked my bin directory and it looks like only half of splunk installed (compared to the Bin Directory on Windows Splunk). I'm going to uninstall the app and let you.
