Are you using OpenSolaris 2008.05? If so, you should not use the pkgadd command to add packages. OpenSolaris 2008.05 uses a different packaging system to "normal" Solaris. The new system is called Image Packaging System or IPS. You will find a graphical tool for installing packages on the System -> Administration menu. There is also a command line tool "pkg".
