Installing Sun Studio on Ubuntu Dapper Drake
Hi all,
I am trying to install Sun Studio 11 on Ubuntu Dapper Drake but everything i have tried so far has failed miserably. Actually i am only interested in the Sun fortran compiler but i havent found a link to download that alone.
I am running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on AMD x86_64. Here is what i have tried so far
1) tried installing the way mentioned inthe readme
installer (even batch installer) fails with a lot of errors and most of them are
ExecuteCommand Error: java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: /bin/rpm: not found
2) i use dchroot to get into i386 mode
then i follow the method mentioned in
http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=72339&tstart=45
i am able to install the deb packages generated but when i run sunstudio it just hangs.
also i am not able to find the f95 compiler anywhere in the installation folder.
Could someone please help me get the fortran compiler running either natively (ie 64 bit) or under dchroot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Winston

There is [b]no[/b] Fortran compiler (or any compiler for that matter) in Sun Studio 11 for Linux.
Even the link pointed out by Maxim does not contain Linux compilers yet (though it will since the next Sun Studio eXpress).
We are actively developing Linux compilers right now, and made available a number of early access versions.
You can download the latest Linux compilers Technology Preview from http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/cc/downloads/tech_preview.jsp

If you are still interested in installing Sun Studio 11 under Ubuntu Dapper Drake you can try installing the rpm package using apt-get then making a symbolic link to the command in the /bin directory. In other words run
apt-get install rpm
ln -s /usr/bin/rpm /bin/rpm
After this the regular installer worked for me.
I am not sure if its important but I also have gawk and the java jre and jdk installed.

Hi,
To install Sun studio on Ubuntu Dapper, you must have jre 5.0 update. Can be downloaded
from Sun's site. or add the repository to the package manager, and search jre 5.0 on the.
Next change to the java runtime to jre5.0, ie
sudo update-alternatives --config java
then run the studio installer.
Hope it helps.
