failed to unistall studio 10

Trying to install SunStudio 12 on Solaris 10 SPARC. First supposedly removed SunStudio10 with

cd /var/sadm/prod/com.sun.studio_10

java uninstall_Sun_Studio_Software

appeared to run successfully.

but now when I try to run the installer for 12, it tells me that the IDE component of Studio 10 is still installed.

Not sure how to proceed from here.

Thanks.

The easiest way would be to download Sun Studio 12 in tar form and just unpack it to desired directory. However, you won't be able to install patches, but as far as I know, Sun Studio updates will be available in .tar form as well.

As for the IDE left installed, you can probably try removing some packages manually. For example,

$ pkgrm SPROdbxui SPROidext SUNWnbcpp

pkginfo doesn't show any of those. All the SPRO* packages seem to have been removed.

I'd like to amend my original post, the system is Solaris 9, not 10.

Solaris 9 is ok. What is the exact error message? Do you use GUI installer to install Sun Strudio 12?Thanks,Nik
