How to resolve software installation conflict

I used to install free packages from sunfreeware.com on my Solaris 8 box. Now I've downloaded Solaris Software Companion CD 07/01 from SUN. I found that the emacs (v20.7) that comes with the CD is newer than that from sunfreeware.com (emacs-20.4-sol8-sparc-local.gz) So I tried to "pkgrm" the old one and "pkgadd" the new version.
However, during "pkgadd", there is a message:
WARNING:
The <SFWncur> package "ncurses (new curses) library" is
a prerequisite package and should be installed.
However, in my box, I've already installed "ncurses-5.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz" from sunfreeware.com and that software resides in /usr/local
Is there any way that I can install SFWemacs using SMCncurs without installing SFWncurs?
Thanks for your kind help in advance.

  • How to resolve message "Installer database is corrupt" when trying to install CS4 on Win 8.1?

    I purchased a disk set of CS4 a few years back and have recently purchased a new computer. When trying to install CS4 on the new computer, I received an error message saying "Installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer support." Called "customer support" and after a VERY long time and three transfers, I was told "Too bad, we can't help you. Maybe download a new copy?" So I did. When trying to install the fresh download, I received the exact same error message: "Installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer support." This appears to be a conflict between the CS4 installer database and Win 8.1. Is this a known issue? How do I resolve it? Thanks for any assistance. ~Evey

  • How to resolve m3u player conflict with installed recording applications?

    Greetings,
    On some of my web pages, I include code for the Quicktime streaming audio player. The player source file is an m3u file that retrieves the mp3 file to play. This "player" works fine on any of my machines that don't have specialized recording software installed. One machine, a Toshiba notebook, with XP on it, has an old digital audio recording/editing program on it that I still use a lot: Protracks. After I had installed Protracks, I noticed that my web pages' streaming audio player would play a very distorted version of the mp3 file, slowed and stuttered. When I first acquired my HP with Windows 7, I installed the latest Quicktime plug-in so I could use the streaming player on my web pages. It worked fine, as it did on an old desktop running XP, until I also installed Dragon Premium by Nuance. Now, the Quicktime streaming audio player on my web pages plays in the same distorted way that the ones on the Toshiba does. I tried associating Quicktime with m3u in the mimetpye control panel, but after I did that I still had no success.
    Here's the code for the player:
    <object classid='clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B' width="197"
    height="17" codebase='http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab'>
    <param name='src' value="audio/Welcome.m3u" />
    <param name='autoplay' value="FALSE" />
    <param name='controller' value="TRUE" />
    <param name='loop' value="FALSE" />
    <EMBED src="audio/Welcome.m3u" width="197" height="18" autoplay="FALSE" controller="TRUE" loop="FALSE" pluginspage='http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/'>
    </EMBED>
    </object>
    I use m3u for streaming and so my original audio files can't be scraped easily.

  • How to resolve intra role conflicts

    Deal All,
    Need your help on approach that needs to be taken to remediate the intra role SOD conflicts arising for users in the system,
    I have explained them the details on how they can resolvewhich requires redesign of roles but client is not at all willing to do a redesign of roles because they have invested a lot in their current auth design.
    Can you help on how do we go on removing these risks,
    Thanks,
    Uttam

    Hello.
    Last time I heard about this problem, the problem went away after the number of GRC rules used for the check was lowered from all their millions of rules to the most important ones that pose a real risk. There are companies where it is not possible to do anything about it, because they're too small. And these companies are still in business. Even if you clear the conflicts on the role level, you can land with the same problem on the user assignment level.
    Can you maybe elaborate on these conflicts? How serious are they? How many roles and users are / can be affected? What is the module / area that it is touching?
    Cheers Otto

  • How to Resolve Bitnami/MAMP Conflict with Profile Manager

    I've been working on a new Lion Server for several weeks, and most of my services work great. However, I want to set up several development environments for WP, Drupal, and Magento, among other things. I prefer to use something like MAMP Pro or, in this case, Bitnami stacks for my various environments. However, this machine currently is used for managing Wiki, Profile Manager, and Device Manager, among other things. Of course, if you activate the Bitnami MAMPstack, that poses an issue for Profile Manager, as both use the 80 and 443 ports, I presume. So, the question is how can I configure Lion Server to run Bitnami (or MAMP Pro, as an alternate possibility) and not break Profile Manager, Wiki, Device Manager, etc.?

    Let me edit the statement a bit. Device Manager is the term that I intuitively have attached to the link https://server/mydevices, which is nothing more than a web interface for adding profiles to your Mac and iOS devices. Apple doesn't call it that, but I have taken to doing so, so when I'm referring to it, that's what it is.
    Anyway, I haven't tried Wiki on its own, but I know that if I activate MAMP, or BitNami, and I run Profile Manager, it is inaccessible. Obviously, there is a conf setup, or something I am missing here, but I'm not finding it in the server documentation, if it exists at all.

  • How to resolve multiple font conflicts on startup?

    Monaco, helvetica, keyboard, lucidagrande, Geneva, and last resort

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    As Guest, launch the application(s) and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.) Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Does anyone know how iCloud resolves conflicts? (iOS save games)

    Hello all,
    We're having some users report an issue with our App that their save game is being nuked when they close the App, sing in to iCloud and then re-open. We have a number of leads we can follow, but first thing is first; Does anyone know how conflicts are resolved by the iCloud system? What it does internally?
    Scenario:
    Achieve some amount of progress through an App.
    Achieve some other amount of progress through an App from a different device.
    Sign into iCloud on both.
    iCloud obviously decides which data to use, but how? Is it literally just a "last write to file wins" case?
    Another question is, does anybody know if iCloud would act strangely/not at all on a device which was jailbroken? We have a very small number of users reporting this issue so that may be another likely situation.
    Many thanks

    Yes, we are fully supporting iCloud. It's a very rare case that we get this report from users and no solid repro steps have yet been given. Many users have successfully played on multiple devices with iCloud enabled and their save game is perfectly intact. There just seems to be an edge case where it's possible that a call to iClouds synchronize and what it actually does in that function is resolving an older save file. So knowing what the internals of how it resolves conflicts will allow us to add another layer with our own conflict resolution specific to our App.
