Im trying to run install.sh on a solaris 10 server, however, I’m getting the folling results:

It would appear that ./tar can not be called from this directory, even though the tar executable resides in the folder. Has anyone had similar issues with Unix/Solaris?
So, in my attempt to work around this issue, I copied the ‘tar’ binary from /usr/bin to the install directory. Now if I run ./tar I get a response (where before the script and prompt would not recognize the tar executable provided by the Genesys install.
I re-ran the install and got the following results:
$ ./install.sh
/tmp/2010_06_11_16_23_59_1541/install.sh: ./gunzip: cannot execute
tar: blocksize = 0
/tmp/2010_06_11_16_23_59_1541/install.sh: ./gunzip: cannot execute
tar: blocksize = 0
/tmp/2010_06_11_16_23_59_1541/install.sh: ./Perl: not found
/tmp/2010_06_11_16_23_59_1541/install.sh: ./cleanup.sh: not found
lca.pl: No such file or directory
It looks like there is still an issue with the blocksize. I know you can pass a blocksize as a paremeter with tar, however, I dont want to go in and start updating the install script. Is there wa way to do this globally?
Edit: I did the same thing with gunzip and now its only complaining about ./perl I tried the same with that executable but unlike tar and gunzip it did not resolve the error.
Also, I should add that I am using Soaris 10 ix86, does it only work with SPARC?
Check in which mode you have uploaded files by ftp or upload them again. All files: *.ini, *.sh, *.html, *.xml, *.txt should be uploaded in text mode, the rest of them in binary mode. I’ve had similar problems on AIX - in install.sh after transfer there was some additional signs at the end of each line.
My impression is that it won’t work with Solaris x86.
Look at the file type for say gunzip and I think you will find it not the right executable type for your system. If it isn’t then the Genesys executables won’t work either.
Very Interesting, I did check permissions (even chmod 777 and ran with root) that was not an issue. borkokrz- good suggestion about the files being moved as text, I have had this issue before and made sure all files were moved as binaries.
rpenney - I think you are on to something here, when I looked at the Genesys Supported Operating Systems Guide, I noticed it only mentions SPARC. Im beginning to think that Solaris x86 is not supported! I’m going to try to get SPARC setup, however, if I need to go to Linux, is there a preferred flavor (I notice Genesys recommends Red Hat)?
Solaric SPARC and x86 are binary incompatible and Genesys doesn’t support x86 release. It’s really not worth trying as it won’t work. There are some commercial add-ons available for Solaris x86 allowing you run SPARC executable but it would better to use Linux in that case.
Genesys does support officially Red Hat 4 or 5 (check the documentation as support differs per product) only. I’m running my lab machine on CentOS that is built using Red Hat sources and everything works fine. However, I would use Red Hat for production system…
