Orion Installer fails on Solaris x86

Hi,

I have a problem installing JES (only intersted in appserver for now) on my Solaris 10.

I iinstalled this in the past a couple of times but i do haven anew version of SOlaris on my laptop. I think the main problem is that my i seem to have SunOS 5.11.

The installer starts but ends with a null pounter exteption. I included the logs, in graphical mode i see the same message.

Any Hints?

bash-3.00# uname -a

SunOS jock 5.11 snv_48 i86pc i386 i86pc

bash-3.00# ./installer

Unable to access a usable display on the remote system. Continue in command-line mode?(y/n)

Looks like you are running Solaris 11 (aka Nevada) -- specifically build 48.

I assume from OpenSolaris.org? You may be hitting Solaris bug:

6466025 Jes5 09b installer crashes on nevada snv_47 due to pkginfo return code change

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6466025

According to the bug report this was introduced in Nevada build 47 and is fixed

in build 51. So give a later build a try.
