Simon,

"libtas" is one of the Tivoli libraries and is located under the Tivoli library 
directory,
pointed by the environment variable $LIBDIR. This variable is available once 
you source your
environment (by executing /etc/Tivoli/setup_env.sh).

During installation, this library is linked to a temporary location as one of 
the steps
performed by WPREINST.SH.

Please make sure that you are running WPREINST.SH and the wserver command from 
the correct
location. You may want to check the WPREINST.SH script to see how this library 
is made
available.

Hope this helps,
Cristina Zabeu
Tivoli Systems
