How to add solaris packages to installled system...

Hello,
I have a minimally installed Sun Solaris system. I need a lot more functionality on it, like developper tools.
I know how to install a packege. The problem is finding out which packages to install. The installation CD contains a whol ot of SUNW* packages with cryptic names, and when you try to install one of them I usually run in to dependency problems.
So is there a convenient way to do the following:
- Given I need a particular tool (eg /usr/ccs/bin/as )
- Find out what package that tool belongs too
- Install that package and all its dependencies automatically?
Under Linux (an Os where I do have somewhat more experience) this is a trivial exercise. But how do I do this under Solaris?

I know I can just try to install a package using pkgadd and see where it breaks. But to do this I first have to know what package to install. That is the first problem. I need "foo", how do I find out what package contains "foo"?
Searching for sollutions I came across a concept called "metacluster", which is aparently sun's way of packaging lots of related stuff together. I found out that the metacluster installed on my system was "SUNWCuser" and that I probably want it to be "SUNWCprog". But I have no idea how to get there.

  • How to add new fields to the system form (Ex.expenses to a/r invoice form)

    hi
    can any one tell me how to add new fields to the system form (Ex.expenses to a/r invoice form)
    i want to add expenses field to system a/r invoice form and connect data base also.
    i used the code of samples\11.system form manipulation(vb.net) but i'm not able to get it....so can any one help with code or concepts.
    reply soon plz..
    thankQ

    If I understood you correctly, you are just trying to add new fields to the invoice form and then use them in your form. you should first go and add the field to your tables, which you would do by going to Tool --> User Defined Fields --> Manage User Fields. There are different documents or categories given. For ex. for invoices, Sales Orders you would add your field under the Marketing Documents. If you want the field to be just one per invoice, add it to the Title, otherwise if you want a field per invoice or Sales Order line, add it to the Rows section. Once you have done that then you can just create a edit box or drop down to represent the field and set the datasource for that to your field. If you want example code to do that, let me know.

  • How to find upgradable packages in the system?

    After each `pacman -Sy' synchronization, is there a easy way to find out what packages in the system are upgradable?

    Doing a
    pacman -Syu
    will sync up with the repositories and then upgrade all the packages on your computer that need upgrading. It will display all the packages that need upgrading and ask you if you want to upgrade them, so you can exit without upgrading if you change your mind.
    Be sure to check out the pacman wiki and the wiki and forums if your unsure about programs in the future.
    Edit: wow, beat me to the punch

  • How to add DNS entry Post Installation in Solaris 10?

    Hi, I have installed Solaris 10 without mentioning the DNS entry while installation. How do I add that now in order to make that Solaris 10 to get connected to Internet ?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Girish Prabhakara.

    Solaris 10 changed the way that some things work regarding networking, but this should still work.
    1. Change the hosts: line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to include dns.
    For example, change:
    hosts files
    to
    hosts files dns
    2. Create /etc/nsswitch.conf with the IP addresses of your DNS servers:
    Example:
    nameserver 192.168.1.100
    nameserver 192.168.2.100
    3. kill -HUP 1
    4. Run nslookup or ping another server via host name (not IP address) to determine if the system is properly communicating with your DNS servers.

  • How to add extra packages for AIF installation?

    I am trying to build a custom Arch Linux LiveCD with archiso, based on wiki.
    Now, everything works fine. But when I tried the installation with /arch/setup, it only allows me to select "core-local" in the step 1.
    I checked also the mount, there is only /repo/core/any and /repo/core/i686.
    Is there anyway to add in more packages other than the core? This should be done on archiso or aif?

    avarionist wrote:thanks found a mirror
    one last question though
    in arch do i have to install dependecies one by one or are they automatically found.
    in any case what would be the command to check for the required dependecies ?
    If you have the network access,  they are automatically found for you. But if you don't, you should find out all the dependencies of a particular package and then download each one and then install them "in order", so that the package that you are actually trying to install, can be installed.
    The command would be (from any arch machine which has network access
    sudo pacman -Ss <package-name>
    It will list all the dependencies, as long as they are not installed on your machine already.

  • How to Upgrade Solaris Package ?

    Hi,
    I created a solais package (*.pkg), which I've installed with the following command:
    "pkgadd -d mypkg.pkg"
    1. What command should I use in order to upgrade it to a higher version?
    2. What are the changes I have to do in the installation pkg for supporting this option?
    3. Where can I find more info about this?
    tx in advance,
    devshlom

    You would also use pkgadd. You can either remove the original package with pkgrm, and then run pkgadd on the new package, or you can upgrade by just running pkgadd directly on the new package. If the VERSION string has changed, then a new "instance" of the package is installed: mypkg.2.
    You can find more information in these two documents:

    i need to add(install) other programs packages from cds
    how can i see available packages(programs) to installation on cds and of course how can i install them ?
    ( for example i need to install ruby support to my oel5 )

    On the first 4 CDs there is a "Server" directory where you'll find all RPMs. To install one, as root mount the CD, go to that directory, and execute :

    Hi Mano,
    After exporting the project stored in a SSISDB catalog to an .ispac file, we can modify the extension .ispac to .zip, then, we can extract the zip file to get the .dtsx package files. Besides, please note that if there are project level connection managers
    or parameters, their definition cannot be exported to individual packages.

  • How to reinstall all packages in the system?

    I accidentaly remove whole /usr directory, so all installed apps are gone. I then installed the basic system from the install CD, all user and system configuration leave untouched. pacman even remember what packages were installed, when i try install some of the previously installed packages pacman says: this package is up to date, upgrade anyway Y/n? So all I must do to get my system up and running again is reinstall all previsously installed packages. Is there any way how to do this by a single command? Or some script? I don't want to reinstall all the packages one by one ...

    If you're pacman database is not removed, you could use something like this

    done
    pacman would error out if he's using any non-repo pkgs (like stuff from unsuported AUR)
    working on a script now, will edit when i get it working.
    #!/bin/bash
    pacman -Q | awk '{ print $1 }' > installed.tmp
    for i in $(pacman -Qm | awk '{ print $1 }'); do
    cat installed.tmp | sed "s/^$i\$//;" > installed.tmp.1
    mv installed.tmp.1 installed.tmp
    done
    pacman -S --noconfirm `cat installed.tmp`
    rm installed.tmp
    i think that'll do the trick... just make sure you backup your /etc before hand, it might overwrite stuff.

  • How do I make a re-installable system clone? Just in case!

    Hi everyone,
    So, I've got my copy of Leopard and am anxious to upgrade my trusty PowerBook, however, after reading some of the issues posted here I am also somewhat apprehensive.
    I would like to make a clone of my current system, which is running sweetly on 10.4.10 with a lot of other 3rd party apps that I fear may not be compatible with Leopard. This is the main reason I want to clone the system.
    I have a brand new 80GB Firewire drive ready for the event, but as I have never done this before I would greatly appreciate any and all advice on this topic please.
    What is the best software to use? I've heard of SilverKeeper and there is DeJaVu with Toast8. Are there anymore I should consider?
    Will I be able to use the clone as re-installable disc image to return my system to it's previous state? Would that work through the disc utility's 'restore' function or another process?
    Would I be better off to install Leopard onto the external F/W drive and run some software tests first?
    Reading all these problems has put me into a minor panic. I was so excited to buy Leopard, but now I am fearful of installing it.
    I'm looking forward to your responses.
    Thanks in advance.
    SR.

    Nope. I made a copy via Carbon Copy Cloner. I have it on my Firewire drive but have no way to get it back onto the boot drive. You can't copy over a running OS and I can't boot from the firewire drive for some reason (Kernal Panic). I don't get it. It is like the chicken or the egg. I am stuck. I do not want eopard anymore and can't get my cloned 10.4.10 back to my G5. It appears I need an image file. When I go that route, it allows me to clone the items on a drive, back to the same drive, but says "by clicking ok, you will delete the files on the drive and then create an image file on that drive". Sorry, but that makes NO SENSE.

  • How to add servlet package to SDK configurations

    Dear Companios:
    I am running SDK-1.4-beta well on my machine.
    Recently, I have to include servlet packages into the configurations.
    I've tried to move the downloaded servlet class files under various directories.
    But didn't succeed in compiling.
    Please let me know how to extend basic configuration to servlet class available.

    [Beaulife],
    If you have downloaded the Servlet packages from the website:
    http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html
    , when you unzip the package you should find a file "servlet.jar".
    Copy or move this servlet.jar file into this directory:
    <root directory level where you installed the SDK>/jre/lib/ext
    Once you do this, you should be able to compile your Servlet .java source code file successfully.
