[Nagios-users]: Nagios/NagiosPlugins Solar is 8 pkg available

[Paul Clayton]

there is a bug in Solaris 2.6 with adding packages, where the package name
is longer than 8 characters, and thus will give you the error you receive. I
am not sure of the actual patch, but it consists of two patch kits. One
being a library and the other pkgadd.

cheers

OK - I'll try that !

Unfortunately not :-(.  When I try this I get the
following error message:

  root at sun4u>  pwd
    /tmp
  root at sun4u>  ls
    nagiosp-1.3.0-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW
  root at sun4u>  pkgadd -d nagiosp-1.3.0-SunOS5.8-sparc-CSW
    pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </var/tmp/dstreAAASJaa4v>

The environ should be OK because I installed a solaris2.6-package
from sunfreeware without any hassle...
And the same package worked fine on the sol.8-machine...
Second thing I'm not shure about: I think someone told me once
that solaris binaries are not downward compatible.  A 2.6
binary will run on solaris 8 but not vice versa...

Looks as if I'll have to jump into the rough waters of
compiling NRPE/plugins for Solaris 2.6...

I think there will be plenty more.  Installing/Compiling on
Solaris has been an issue on this list a couple of times.
The package will make the installation much more easier.
Saved time which can be spent on the struggle with the
config ;-).

Thanx for your help.

Greetings from the polish border

Oliver
