Install on Solaris 10 - ..../perl/bin: cannot execute

Hi all,

 

I have been trying to install the Storage Foundation on a Solaris box. Running ./installer from the DVD gives me quickly the following error message, 3 repeated lines:

 

./installer: ./perl/SunOS/perl/bin/perl: cannot execute

./installer: ./perl/SunOS/perl/bin/perl: cannot execute

./installer: ./perl/SunOS/perl/bin/perl: cannot execute

 

After installing Solaris I updated it and and installed the compainon programs. I also compiled and installed perl 5.8.8.

 

Does anyone have a clue on what the problem is?

 

Best regards

 Pkgchk VRTSperl .. issue is that veritas needs its own perl so hence issue re-install VRTSperl ?

Thanks for the quick reply, from reading some of the other posts, I had already installed from the DVD, the VRTSperl.tar.gz package, which when I do a pkginfo -i, shows up as installed...I did also try and include in my .profile a path to include /opt/VRTSperl:/opt/VRTSperl/lib/perl 5.8.8 as well...just in case...and still I get the same error as you did.

 

Any of ideas.

Are you starting installation from Sparc version or Intel?

It's Solaris 10 x64 bit on Intel Architecture....It's actually a Vmware Virtual machine if that helps..

Check that VMWare machine is set to Solaris 10 x64bit, that you installed Solaris 10 x64 and that you are trying to install Veritas SF 5.0 Solaris x64 for Intel and not the Sparc version (Solaris). What is the name of file from which you restored dvd?

I'm having the exact same problem here on a Sparc Solaris 10 Platform. I've downloaded the following media from symantec: sxrt5.0x64_x86_5.0x64a.dvd1.tar.gz suggestions?

sukhi,

 

this dvd is a Veritas software for 64-bit Intel platform (x64_x86) and you have Sparc :)
