How to install software on Solaris?

I am new to Solaris but have experience on Fedora. I installed Solaris 10 with the default software. Now I want to install gcc on this system. How can I do this? Does Solaris has RPM like Fedora? I found that in Solaris DVD there is a directory "sol_10_508_x86/Solaris_10/Product/SUNWgcc", is this the gcc I can install? and how?
thanks.

That's a very good question. I'm pretty new to Solaris myself as well, I needed a torrent client and went to http://www.sunfreeware.com/ from where I downloaded libtorrent-0.11.4-sol10-x86-local.gz then I followed the instructions here, which basically meant running as root form the terminal gunzip libtorrent-0.11.4-sol10-x86-local.gz and pkgadd -d libtorrent-0.11.4-sol10-x86-local and the installation seems to have went without a problem, but the problem now I'm facing is how to run the program that I appear to have installed successfully?

How to install software in solaris

Hi,
Sorry for posing this question in this forum. But I m helpless as in solaris forum I didn't get reply.
I m new to solaris. Can you give me some details how to install a tgz file.
thanks in advance

Go to www.java.com
Click on download "solaris software"
Turn off your IE security settings and firewall, solaris needs to 'phone home' while it is installing. If you don't turn them off then you'll have to open ports 1, 2, 4, 99, 23, 25, 8080 and 80.
Once you're ready to go type in "suxmiownpen0r" and off you go.
Ooo, and remember to add "I'm a Troll" to the description/profession on your profile.

How to install software from imac to macbook pro

how to install software from imac to macbook pro

Are you using one of the newer iMac's with no DVD drive? If so, you can either get an external CD/DVD drive (any make - doesn't have to be Apple) or, if you have another Mac on the same network that has a CD/DVD drive you may be able to do it by turning on 'DVD or CD Sharing' on that Mac (System Preferences>Sharing). Hopefully you'll see the disk on the Mac without the DVD drive and be able to install from there.

How to install DB2 in Solaris 9 using remote Win NT machine?

Hi there,
I am new to Solaris.
Could you please tell me how to install DB2 administration client in Solaris 9.
The problem is the Installation CD is put in the Solaris server and i have to install using a remote
Windows NT machine via telnet.
Is there any means for installing the DB2 using the console instead of using GUI interface?
While trying to install using the GUI Interface,
this is the mesg coming after unziping the tar.Z file and running the shell
" ./db2setup " -----
"The DISPLAY variable is not set properly.
Ensure that the DISPLAY variable is set properly and that permissions are set
properly to open windows on the display specified, then rerun the command."
Is installing the DB2 software through console possible?
need help.
Thanks,
params

Hi,
Thank you so much. Yeah. this is what i was looking for. Now, i successfully installed DB2 using db2_install command.
Thanks,

How to install Dual OS(solaris 10 and Windows XP)?

I have got a 80 gb sata hard disk and i am not able to install Dual OS(solaris and Windows XP ) on it.My Partitions are as follows:
Primary partition-5GB
Remaining are extended Partition.
Extended partition details
8 gb NTFS partition(installed windows XP)
7 gb NTFS partiton(No data in it)
20 gb NTFS partition(No data in it)
20 gb NTFS partiton(has data in it)
15 gb RAW partiton
I first installed Windows xp on 8 gb Extended partiton.Then when i installed Solaris i could see only 2 partitons.One with the 5 gb and the other with the 71 gb.I actually wanted to install my solaris on the 15 gb Raw partition.Since i could not see the partition(15 gb Raw) i installed solaris on the 5 gb partition.Now when the comp boots it goes to solairs os only.i dont have the option to choose windows at all.
could any one of you explain me how the partitions are supposed to be and how could i make it as a Dual OS.

Windows uses the primary partiton for boot, too, even if you installed it on the NTFS volume in the extended partition. Wherever you install Windows, it will need the primary partition for booting. You can never boot from Windows extended partitions
As for the 15Gb raw partition, it look like what you call 'RAW partition' is actually just a small little part inside the extended partition. All your NTFS partitions (and your RAW partiton) are logical volumes and they all reside inside the extended partition. Even though Windows sees them as separate drives, each with its own drive letter, just as it sees the primary partition.
You may try do use Windows fdisk or diskpart to delete the last logical volume in the extended partition, and then get the ntfs resize tool from Linux, or the CD1 from the Debian Linux install CDs, which has it included and accessible with a nice user interface, and resize your extended partition.
I don't know if it works, I only used it to also resize some logical volume inside the partition. ntfs resize tool might not be easy to work with, you will need to read its documentation, but it does resize NTFS partitions (I have seen it).
If it works, then you will have your 15Gb as unallocated space available for a new partition. Let the Solaris installer create this new partition automatically during install.

How to install software (on CD) for Sony DCR-SR68 video camera on my 2009 MacBook Pro

How do I install software for a Sony DCR-SR68 video camera on my 2009 MacBook Pro? The manual that came with the camera says the software cannot be installed on "a Mackintosh", that I should contact Apple.

I think that's pretty clear, don't you? (And, if it does say "Mackintosh", I'll eat my bowler hat.)
You can't use the supplied software with Mac OS X. Either install Windows on your Mac, if you wish to use this software, or find out (eg, by googling) what other Mac users do with this camera.

How install routings in Solaris 10 6/06 ??It depends on what your routing script does. Solaris 10 introduces persistent routing, so you may just need to add the route once (persistently), then let the system take care of it.

How to install software on macbook pro

Hi,
So I have the Macbook Pro with the Retina display. It does not have a CD-rom slot.
I have a Logic software that I want to install for my laptop. I installed this software on my previous Macbook that had a CD-rom slot.
Does anyone know how to install such a big file/program without having it to do a MacBook Share from another laptop?

If you know someone with one, ask if you can borrow it. Otherwise, using another computer's internal drive is the free way; there is no credit in the Mac App Store for having bought the DVD version of a product.

How to install software before user's logon?

Hello!
I have a problem. I want to install software before logon user to computer.
I have applied a "Wait for network policy" to all our computers in 2003 domain, but on Windows 7 a script that installs software continues to work before and after logon. On Windows XP software installed before user logons to computer.
The policy that installs software applied to Computer configuration in group management console.
How to prevent software to continue its installation after user's logon?
Thank you!

You can utilize SCCM to instal software silently or use silent switch to install the software in background within the scripts. Its difficult to interpret how you have configured the group policy & how this script works w/o seeing it. If you want help
with the script, you can post this thread into scripting forum.
