Sun STudio 12 install failed on SPROfdxd on x86

Hi everybody,

I get a similar problem than

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5188423&tstart=0

except that i cannot get it install doing a -nodiplay install.

I'm running Solaris 10 with all the patches required for the installation.

I've installed netbeans 5.5.1 and the JDK separatly as at first, i though that was causing the error...this also mean that the error did exist before i installed netbeans and JDK...

Extract from the install log:

I'm almost new to Solaris, and i've got no idea so far. I've also check there is enough room :

As advised in the quoted post, i've tried

which sunstudio

no sunstudio in /usr/sbin /usr/bin

Any new idea would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Ben.

Sun Studio default installation directory is /opt/SUNWspro, not /usr, so please check if 'sunstudio' is in /opt/SUNWspro/bin/ and try launching it. Installer error indeed looks like free space issue, but you seem to have enough kbytes there...

I've run the which sunstudio command because i saw it from the other thread but Sunstudio is NOT installed on my system :( as installation don't complete....

When i try to install it, i'm doing a default installation but it doesn't go to the end....

I even try to install manually the package SPROfdxd which fail....

So i think there is something wired with that package...

Regards,

Ben.

Re reading my first post i realize 2 things

first, /var/tmp//installuOaOJc/checkinstallwOaOJc note the //. IS that can be my problem ?

secondly, my /var is only 700Mo Free. Is that possible that Sun Studio install requires more than 700Mo on /var to complete when installation directory is /opt (default).

Regards,

Ben.

I don't think so. It is valid pathname.

> Is that possible that Sun Studio install requires more than 700Mo on /var to complete

I don't really know; all machines that I've ever installed Sun Studio to had > 3Gb of free space. On those machines, /var is usually > 1Gb, so 700Mb could be a problem.

I get it installed by unselecting X designer (which SPROfdxd belong to).

this package fail even if i try to install it alone...

Can't figure out why...

Lucky enough that i don't need that. As the package may be corrupted in some way, i'm currently re downloading the full install...

Thanks to Maxim for the time he takes to try dorting out my problem.

Regards,

Ben.

Be careful here. the output of 'which sunstudio' will NOT show sunstudio

unless it is installed AND you have updated your searchpath to include

the installation directory of sun studio. By default it will not be on

your searchpath.
