OK guys, I apologize for sending this more than once but I've been
having the worst time getting the messages from the list. I've
switched to gmail so let us see if it works better. I read off of a
digest the question if I had installed a supplemental ksh package from
the DVD. I don't see any supplemental ksh from my download. I did
uninstall ksh and installed the latest version of pdksh. Boy that was
a mistake. I've got a few more errors now...

If someone sent more info that I did not mention above please resend
it. Or send it directly to me if you want to avoid aggravating the
list.

Thanks,
Jimmy

Subject: SRSS not installing on SuSE Enterprise 10 - read only errors
To: [email protected]


I am attempting to install SRSS on SuSE Enterprise 10 but the install
fails due to several "ProductName: is read only" errors. It looks
like the best fix is to repair the RPM. According to Bill Quayle the
library called "iu_lib" needs a small adjustment.

My question is this: Has someone (preferably someone from Sun) posted
the .spec file for building this RPM?

Thanks,
Jimmy

I'm also trying to do the install on RHEL AS 3 u4, and having the same
"read only" issue.

The SUNWuti-3.1-32.i386.rpm contains a library called "iu_lib"
On line 466 of that file, and within the GetPackagePath function is the
line:
  typeset -r ProductName="$1"
When the GetPackagePath function is called from the installer, it tries
to set ProductName, which is, of course, read only and cannot be set.
I'm not sure why this works under Solaris, but if you change the line to
read:
  typeset ProductName="$1"
re-build the rpm and stuff it back in place, you should be good to go.

I'm assuming this beta was tested on Linux - so it seems like an install
script should work...

Anyone at Sun care to comment?
