Certainly Sun Studio 12 is a very nice ide for running Solaris cc and c++ in linux. I have tried the package installation onto fedora 7 inwhich Netbeans 5.5.1 is already installed, and found that the Netbeans components of Studio 12 would overwrite the files of Netbeans 5.5.1 even they were in different and separate folders.
Netbeans5.5.1 should be installed in the default directory /opt/sun unless a user specifies the directory name.
Could you let me know the following?
Which directory was Netbeans installed in originally?
How was Sun Studio installed?
How was Netbeans installed using Sun Studio 12 installer?
Which directory was it installed to?

Default installation on Solaris platform is in /opt. Is this what you tried?

Could you let me know which menu item references netbeans-5.5?
