installing studio on SPARC (Solaris 9)

I don't see anything online saying this is impossible, but when I go to run install, I get a java stack trace. (somewhere in GraphicsEnvironment). If this is impossible, can anyone point me to a developers package that will work on 9? thanks...

Could you please list the exact commands including the error message you see?Also, what version of java are you using?

You can also try other installers. When I was trying to install Sun Studio on my machine (Solaris 10, but it doesn't really matter) I found three and only one of them worked for me (the GUI one, to be precise).

I'm running the installer that came in the free tar download of studio11 from the Sun site, and I'm following the directions... the command is

./installer -nodisplay

(because I'm telnetted to that box)

as root; the /bin/java version is 1.4.0_03

It sits there a long time, gives me a license agreement, then a stack trace that ends:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

at java.lang.Class.forName0

at java.lang.Class.forName

at java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGarphicsEnvironment(GraphicsEnvironment.ja va:62)

etc.

I assume you have a CD1 and CD2 directory at the same level as the installer.In that case you might try,a) ./cd CD1./installer -nodisplayand thenb) cd ../CD2./installer -nodisplayNote: CD2 installs JDK 1.4.2_08

Surprisingly, going into the individual "CD" dirs does seem to help. So far so good...

that worked, for a while... During the CD1 install, the Sun Performace Library portion, I got a signal 11 and what appears to be a java runtime core dump; right before that a java stack trace ended at:

com.sun.wizards.core.WizardTreeManager.callCLientObjectMethod(WizardTreeManager .java:2233)

any other ideas?

(it was working on /usr/j2se/jre/lib/sparc/client/libjvm.so)

I also set up an XWindows session and got through all of part 1 (taking out the perfomance package install)... but the final status came up failed, even though the log said nothing explicit... then the installer cycled through the next phase, and again I got a core dump while it was handling libjvm.so, this time at:

com.sun.wizards.awt.FlowLabel.createPaintVector(FlowLabel.java:595)

I'm out of ideas...

It should work with any 1.4 JVM, but as a last resort, you could download the most recent version of 1.4.2, put that first on root's path, and try again. Also... if the install has failed one or more times with a core dump, it may have left your registry in a corrupt state. Please look in /var/sadm/install/productregistry, and remove any entries that mention studio 11 (or alternatively, move this file out of the way temporarily).

this is all moot now... I made the mistake of contacting a real Sun tech via sales, and he led me own a path to some patches that corrupted the system... further messed up by Sun support misinforming us on how we might recover... now the only option is to reinstall from scratch, and all the data on that system is lost...

Guess I need to give up on the idea of having a backup development environment, it's too dangerous to install Studio11 on Solaris 9 with all of its dependencies, all I want is a SIMPLE c compiler, but Sun can't give me that, SIGH.

I'm running studio 11 on solaris 9 at home and it works like a champ. I use it over XDMCP from a Mac. What kind of problems are you having. I installed JRE 5.0 and had no problems.
