GSKit Installation on Linux for TDS LDAP

GSKit Installation on Linux for TDS LDAP are listed below. Recently while working for a customer assignment, I had to Install Tivoli Directory Server v6.3 on Redhat Linux machine. There was no UI enabled for installation of LDAP and I had to manually create everything through commands. During Installation of GSKit, we do have installp command in AIX and in Linux we use rpm command.
