Thanks Paul, I'm still waiting on the Transitive people to get back to me with a trial license extension so I can attempt to install the Sparc version of Wildfire on Solaris x86. Looking more into how the QuickTransit thing works though, I'm wondering more and more if it will work. Looks like QuickTransit actually installs a stripped down Sparc version of OpenSolaris. If it doesn't have motif...then I guess I could be back to square one. :)
Ohh well, I'm still going to test it out anyways. Everything is starting to come back to me. Pro/E comes with a stripped down version of Vericut. I totally forgot, probably about 3 years ago now, I contacted cgtech and they sent me a copy of Vericut. It wouldn't install. The lame part is, it's a Java app in the first place so technically should be cross-platform, but it's not. That was almost three years ago though. Perhaps I should rerequest they port to x86. They didn't seem to care though last time though. PTC didn't seem to care either or want to pressure cgtech into caring. But it's worth another try. Maybe now they'll realize there is an x86 Solaris market. I did however give up on trying to install Wildfire on OpenSolaris 2008.5. Anyone from Sun reading this thread and need anymore reason to opensource CDE so it can be included in OpenSolaris? It seems to me if OpenSolaris 2008.5 is a sign of things to come, then I would wager PTC will probably just drop Pro/E on Solaris instead of trying to figure out how to make their product work without motif. That's purely speculation on my part though, cause I just don't trust PTC to make any decision that would make my job easy :) Aaron Paul Gress wrote: > OK, > > I did a little checking for you.
