Adding packages from solaris 8 install disks

I need Solaris Make for Solaris 8. I have installed Solaris 8 off of downloaded Solaris 8 install disks. I apparently forgot to include Solaris Make in the install and now need to add it. When I copy the pkg SUNWxcu4t (the pkg for make and scc) and pkgadd it it claims installation is sucessful but still I have no make. It is supposed to install to /usr but there is no make there.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Ok I have all of my compilling isuse resolved!
Just in case anyone else browsing this forum has the same problems here is what I have learned:
These are the relevent Packages:
for tools (ar, sccs, lex, yacc, make, nm, truss, ld, as)
SUNWbtool, SUNWsprot, SUNWtoo
for libraries & headers:
SUNWhea, SUNWarc, SUNWlibm, SUNWlibms
SUNWdfbh, SUNWcg6h
for ucb compat:
SUNWsra, SUNWsrh
You definatly need to use Solaris make (found in SUNWsprot), Solaris ar (found in SUNWbtool),
gnu tar, and gnu cc both from sunfreeware.com (I love pkg-get ^_^)
either add /opt/sfw/bin/ to your path or put a dynamic link for gcc into /usr/local/bin/ I prefer the latter.
and add /usr/ccs/bin/ to your path permanently.
Thanks for your help every one.

  • Can't boot G5 even from OS install disk. Help?

    I've trolled the message boards 25 pages deep and searched all the "Can't boot my G5" threads and still haven't found anyone describing what my machine is doing so thought I'd start a new thread in the hopes someone can help me out.
    Ok I have a G5 dual processor machine. (Power PC chip, not Intel) Things went bad when I tried to do an Archive and Install of Leopard (OS 10.5) The install looked as normal until I got to one minute left on the install. At that point the install never progressed. I thought maybe it was doing some behind the scenes processing and decided to leave it over night. The next day my machine was still hung on that One minute left. So obviously it was a failure. Of course now the problem is I have an install that never completed of the OS and so that partition is, I assume, unbootable. Wiped away the Tiger OS and did a 99% install of Leopard. So I had to shut down by holding the power button.
    I think to myself, "No worries I can just boot from my 2nd partition holding down the Option key to select it on the boot up screen". I always keep a partition with an OS on it for times like these. So I reboot, hold option key, select my other partition, things look OK. I get the grey screen with the Apple logo and I get the wheel animation turning. (Not beachball of death but the typical circular, almost sun ray configuration thing) At this point, usually the screen will go black for a moment before the desktop loads. However, in my case once the screen goes black after the load screen, it stays black. Now let me say the monitor does NOT turn off. There is a definite difference when I manually turn the monitor off. When off it's truly black. But this is like a power on black, not true black. (If you need me to explain this better feel free to ask me to clarify)
    So the untouched, pristine Tiger partition boot is a No Go. I figured I'd then give up on trying to put Leopard on my desktop machine (I use it on my laptop) and reinstall the original OS and system software from the system disk that came with my G5. I boot machine holding down eject button, place the disk in, close the drive door and shut down again by holding power button. Reboot holding C key and the same routine happens with booting from the disk. Gray Apple logo screen, sun ray circle moving, screen goes black on the attempted transition to desktop .. but stays black. I also tried booting with my Disk Warrior disk to no avail. Same thing happens. (Also tried booting from disks by selecting them manually from booting with Option key down) At first I wondered if it was a monitor issue. That maybe my desktop was up but there was an issue with the signal being passed to the monitor on the resolution jump. Thought perhaps hitting the Eject key on the keyboard when I had attempted to boot from the partition (not from disk on this test) would tell me if it was a monitor issue. If it was a monitor issue, the disk tray should open. But alas, no.
    So since I cannot boot normally from any partition or disk I decided to boot into single-user mode.
    I did the fsck -fy thing and it told me everything was ok. I had also previously installed applejack and I ran that and short of correcting a few permissions and dumping some unneeded caches it came back with a system OK.
    At my wits end I booted into target disk mode and ran Disk Warrior on both the original half installed OS partition and the back up emergency boot up partition from my laptop. Again, everything OK. Hoped against hope that I could actually install an OS onto my G5 from my laptop but I was only given the option of being able to do it from my laptop with the Leopard disk and it would only allow me to do it if I used Disk Utility to completely format that drive first. No, thanks.
    Re-attempt to boot G5. Failure. So now I turn to hardware. Disconnected everything beside the keyboard and mouse. Try again. Fail. Pulled a couple sticks of Crucial memory out of the machine and left the stock RAM. No dice. Pressed the small power unit reset button under the RAM slots. No change. Zapped the PRAM. Still nothing. Try to boot in Safe mode holding down shift key. Doesn't work.
    It seems to me if I can't even get the machine to boot from the Install disk that there is something going on that is much more major than software issues.
    Bad motherboard? Any ideas? Because I'm all out of ideas.

    Brother, Sound74, I thought I was the only one pulling the hair out of my chest one by one the past two days. Your situation is very similar to mine, and I'm just as clueless as you are. I started getting kernel panic screens, then nothing on boot, until finally I brought it to the local genius bar. They ran all the usual software/hardware tests, updated Tiger to 10.4.11, recommended I buy Leopard and do an erase-install. My computer, of course, was working absolutely fine by this point. I bought Leopard, came home, backed everything up, then tried to install the new OS. Like in your case, it just up and quit half-way through. Screen went black and a "No DVI Signal" message came on my display (it does this when I turn it on without first turning on the computer).
    So I thought, well, maybe it takes a really long time to erase-install, and the monitor is just waiting for things to kick back in. I've always upgrade-installed before, so I couldn't tell if this was normal or not. But about half an hour later, my fans kicked in so fast I thought I had a P-51 Mustang taking off in my studio. I waited a bit more and finally force-shut-down my system. Not knowing what to expect, I nervously tried to re-boot.
    Nothing. Zip. I can't safe boot, I can't boot from the installer disc, etc. The only thing I can do is the option-key thing whereby you choose the startup disc. And of course, it only gives the Leopard install disc as an option, because now the entire HD has been erased! But when I choose the Leopard disc, of course it doesn't work.
    So I have a nice $3000 paperweight sitting in my studio. I guess I'll have to bring it back to the Mac store, where if it costs more than $300 to fix, I'm going to say screw it and put that dough toward a new iMac.
    Sorry I couldn't provide any helpful info, but I just wanted you to know you're not alone in suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous technology.
    Keep me posted on any solutions you discover, and I'll do the same.

  • Having trouble installing software AND restarting from OSX Install disks

    This may be a previously answered problem, but I couldn't find it in the forum.
    My recently-purchased MacBook has iPhoto v. 2.x on it, but this is really old -- the current version is 6 or so.
    I thought a newer version might be on my Install disks, but I can't seem to get past the screen that tells me to restart in order to install System X. When I do click it, it restarts back to my login screen, and then I need to relaunch the OSX installer, and the loop starts over.
    The obvious solution is to restart from the Install disk, however, I cannot start up from that disk; I hold down C while restarting, but I get a flashing folder-with-a-question-mark in it. Note the grey install disk is 10.2.4 and my computer is running 10.4.11 with upgrades. Is this the issue?
    Besides hoping one of you can help me 1) start from my Install disk and 2) find and install iPhoto, perhaps someone knows which version of iPhoto I will have, if any, on this disk (CD vers 1.0, 2Z691-4306-A).
    Vielen Dank!
    -A-

    Your question was answered unless we didn't understand it correctly. You are trying to boot an Intel Mac with "Note the grey install disk is 10.2.4." 10.2.4 cannot boot any Intel Mac. BDAqua addressed that in his reply. You have not responded to either his or my original reply.
    You're original question was about iPhoto. I replied that you can reinstall all originally pre-bundled software for your computer by running the Install Pre-Bundled Software installer contained on your OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. There's no need to boot from the installer disc in order to reinstall pre-bundled software.
    So, is there a part of your question that still needs addressing? Please let us know, and we will be glad to help if we can.

  • How do you NOT start up from the install disk if it is in the CD drive?

    This has to be a dumb question, but . . . I put my 10.4 install disk into the CD drive of the Mini to try an experiment, installing OS X on a thumb drive as a backup.  It didn't work. Now the Mini will only start up from the install disk, not the internal drive (which has 10.5.8 on it). 
    The advice I have seen in the forum says to hold down the D key upon startup and that will choose the internal drive as the startup disk. That didn't work. Also, there was a suggestion to hold down the option key upon startup, and then choose the internal drive from the startup manager. No luck there, either.  I also tried holding down the eject button on the keyboard during startup, but it still started up from the install disk. 
    I feel like I am in a 1 Infinite Loop here.  Any advice much appreciated.
    Jim

    Oops, I will now answer my own dumb question.  I found another suggestion in the Powerbook forum that said to hold down the mouse button as it boots up, and the disk should eject -- it worked!  I hope this will help somebody else.  Sorry about the previous post.

    Following these suggestions, I startup from the Install Disk holding down C. The installation process proceeds as far as "Checking disks..." (part of Select Destination) but hangs up there: the barbershop pole just spins and spins... What do I do next? This is on an old iBook BTW, 2001 G3, OS X, 10.1.2.

    Likely, but can you try to erase it/format it?
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion hopefully you'll be able to get a good install.
    Needs to be Apple Partition Map (APM) partition scheme.

  • My imac wont boot from the install disk

    My IMAC will not boot from the install disk.

    Hello, your installation disk is running under OSX??? If no the media has a problem!!!
    1. Restart your mac and hold the alt (option key) to select media to install.
    2. Restart you mac and hold the "c" key to boot.
    an other solution is to make a partition on the hard drive and put a restore image of the Mac os X Installation dvd inside it then Restart your mac nad hold the "option" key and you will see the partition with mac os x installation and you can make a new installation from there.

  • EMac won't start from startup install disk

    Aloha gang,
    Our school purchased 25+ seats volume license of 10.4 last year and to date I have used 15. Most upgrades have gone on without a hitch but today I'm trying to upgrade some eMacs (same models as I have previously upgraded without problem) and it will not start up from the disk no matter what I try. I've tried:
    * putting in the disk, clicking on install, clicking on restart so it restarts from the install disk
    * putting in the disk, starting the computer and holding the C button
    * putting in the disk, starting the computer and holding the option button to choose the install disk
    None of those have worked. All that happens is the grey screen with the darker grey apple and the spinning thingy beneath it. I thought it might be that I was being impatient so I started it again, went to eat lunch and when I returned it was exactly where I left it. Any suggestions?
    Oh yeah - I have tried using the original purchased media as well as backup copies of the media in all instances.
    Thanks for any help you can give, gang!

    nalani:
    Thank you for indulging my ignorance and so graciously enlightening me as to your situation.
    It seems to me that the difficulty you are experiencing has to do with individual computers not responding appropriately to the discs from which you are trying to boot them. The disks themselves may not be the issue at all, since you have previously booted other computers from them.
    My first suggestion would be to check the computers themselves to see if they have issues that need to be corrected. If those computers are running previous versions of OS X and you have the install disks for them, see if you can boot from them and run Repair Disk. I would also check for hardware issues by running the appropriate Apple Hardware Test disk. BDAqua's suggestion to Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck is appropriate, especially if you are unable to boot from an install disk to run Repair Disk.
    BDAqua's other suggestion also has merit. That is, using one of the computers that will boot the disk as Host, boot the recalcitrant computers into Firewire Target Disk Mode and run Repair Disk and if everything checks out OK, do the installation in that way.
    No one is questioning the legality of what you are doing. It is just that most of the users who post have a single user or family license at best, so your licensing situation is a bit rare around here.
    Please do post back with an update of how things go if you attempt any of the suggested approaches.
    Good luck.

  • Install a package from Solaris 10 cd

    Hello,
    I accidentaly removed a package (namely SUNWgcc) from the system. I have the Solaris 10 CDs. Is it possible to install this package for the CD? I check the CD and it looks like SUNWgcc on it is not a package that I can install with pkgadd -d.
    Thank You,
    PN.

    This does not seem to work from the Solaris 10 CD 1 -
    the CD directory structure is different.
    Specifically I am trying to install SUNWmfrun which
    is in the /cdrom/tmp/root/var/sadm/pkg directory.Don't go there.
    Stay in the Product directories on the CDs. You'll find the package there.
    However this directory doesn't have a pkgmap file in
    it so running the pkgadd command fails. No, that's not a package. /var/sadm/pkg contains information about the package database, so some of the files and directories there have the same name as packages (but they're not packages).
    Further investigation shows another directory,
    /cdrom/tmp/root/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWmfrun/save/pspool/SUN
    Wmfrun which does have that file, but running pkgadd
    against that directory fails completely.Still not a package.
    How can I use pkgadd to add packages from the first
    CD in the Solaris 10 installation?The packages are in the 'Product' directory.
    Your paths seem odd. You have a normally booted host and you're just inserting the CD? What are the contents of /cdrom?

  • Updating iphoto to 6.0 on other mac from new install disk?

    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Mac Pro gets kernel panic while trying to boot from Leopard install disk

    Hi all,
    I'm finally getting around to installing leopard on my 2006 Mac Pro. It has the x1900 video card from Apple and all firmware is up to date. The install disk upgraded my Macbook with no problems.
    When booting I get the wipe to grey, kernel panic, "You must restart your Mac" screen. Any suggestions?
    BTW the Leopard install disk installs OSX 10.5.0
    Thanks
    Pax

    I finally found that the mac pro needs installer 10.5.2 or it will do the kernel panic thing. I did find a way around this though.
    1) I took an external drive hooked to my macbook and installed 10.5 on it. Then booted from it and did all the updates, installed all my necessary software (ilife 08, parallels, and so on).
    2) I then made sure my Mac pro's drive was currently backed up and then booted up from the backup and then used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the new OS 10.5.4 Leopard disk onto my Mac Pro boot drive.
    3) After that I used migration assistant to transfer all my user settings and such.
    It all worked great and I now have Leopard on my Mac Pro.
    Just thought I'd let everyone know how I got around it.

  • Cannot boot from OSX install disk

    I need to run disk utility to repair my boot drive.
    I am attempting to startup from my OSX install disk. However, I can't seem to get my machine to do this.
    My computer recognizes my install disk when it's in my superdrive. It mounts on the desktop and I can read from it.
    However, when i go into system preferences>startup disk, OSX does not show my mounted OSX install disk listed as an option. Also, when I hold down C on startup, my machine ignores the command. And when I hold down the Option key on startup, the only startup option shown is my boot drive, not my OSX install disk.
    I've tried zapping my p-ram. I've tried booting up in safe mode and then re-trying the above.
    I don't know what else I can do, short of typing in scary UNIX command lines.
    I'm going completely mental here. Please help me, somebody.
    If it makes any difference, I've got gobs of apps installed, notably Adobe CS3, Final Cut Studio, Firefox, MS Office 2004.

    Not that this solves the booting problem, but I recommend installing AppleJack, which is free (and does run on Intel). This provides easy commands for doing a disk check in single user mode (it's the same in the end as typing the Unix commands but much easier to use), and it's much faster than booting from the CD (even if you can).
    Having installed it, restart holding command-S: after a lot of text you will get the line 'Type Applejack at the prompt' - you simply do this and then it's just a question of typing 'd' to check the disk and so on. (Incidentally do not run it from the Terminal when booted normally: you must use it only in single-user mode.)

  • Macbook pro will not start from the install disk

    I have a 13 macbook pro that i am giving to my sister. I am trying to wipe my info and put hers on it. I followed the directions on the apple website and it wouldn't work. I realized that i was using the install disk from my imac. Now that I am using the correct install disk it gets stuck with a gray screen with the apple logo. It stays in this state until the screen goes black and does nothing. I also went into system preferences and told it to start using the install disk now it wont even start it just gets stuck on the gray screen. please help.

  • Video Ram failed, won't boot from Leopard Install Disk

    Hello,
    Recently, I ran the techtools software, and got a report that my video ram had failed. It was suggested that I attempt to reinstall OSX. I put in the Leopard install disk, click the install or setup button or whatever it is, click to restart. When it restarts, a gray screen comes up, but the computer never actually boots up, from either the DVD or my hard disk.
    Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Since your MacBook is still very new, you shouldn't have an problem with the DVD. If I were you, I'd call AppleCare Support and have someone walk you through re-installing Mac OS X. However, I really doubt this will help resolve what seems to be a hardware failure on your MacBook. Hopefully the folks at AppleCare Support can help figure out if you need to send your MacBook in for repairs.
