Installing PKGS from CD

I am finding when using the install program in CDE that instead of installing any PKGS that it says " Not Installed" instead of installing them. & then I have to close program , is there a reason it wont install any PKGS after selecting them from catorgories? Just wondering If I have to enable something or rather etc?

I am having the same problem. After installing Solaris 10 and the Software Companion CD while installing the entire Sun Operating System and rebooting my machine after it tells me the packages from the software companion cd were installed correctly. After the reboot, I login as as root and open the console. I type the various commands like pine, or pico, emacs, etc and then it states
emacs: not found
I did a search in the various directories where the packages should have been installed and they are there.
Is there something else that I need to do in order to access these applications? I have searched through documentation on the Sun Website and have done google searches to see whether there was any documentation stating whether anything extra in addition to installing the software companion cd was required to access the packages, but on every search through the documentation and through other websites describing the Solaris 10 install including the software companion install, they explain it like the software companion install process should be rather easy, like as easy as just install it and your done.
I have the Solaris 10 X86 version running on an Intel Pentium 4 1700 MHZ machine. I also installed the correct version of the software companion cd, the Intel X86 Solaris 10 Software Companion CD.
I dont mean to be rude or so critical either but there is nothing stated about how to deal with this in the documentation. Its also logical that if the Solaris 10 OS install process includes the software companion cd, that it should have automatically configured the environment variables for each package installed otherwise there is no point in having the system installer install the software companion packages if the user has to manually configure each environment variable for each package installed.

    Hi Folks. First post here.
    I am trying to install Xcode from App Store on Mac OS X Loin and there is this error which I am facing.
    Error extracting mzm.tvbnoepi.pkg
    This is persistant. I have reinstalled entire OS and then I tried to install XCode Again. Then realised
    something is wrong with XCode binary provided by App Store. Any solutions for this?

    I have downloaded xcode from https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action and installed it. this fixed the issue.

    Hi, shoaib.
    You wrote: "also in disk utility i get this
    "invalid file or directory ID found"
    "the volume HD needs to be repaired"
    "Error: the underlying task reported failure onn exit""The disk directory of your hard drive is corrupted. This is the source of your problems.
    If you cannot afford either of the third-party utilities:
    • Alsoft Disk Warrior 3.x (DW3)
    • Micromat TechTool Pro version 4.1.x (TTP4).
    then you will need to follow the instructions in "Disk Utility reports 'Underlying task reported failure' when repairing a volume."
    Specifically, given that your attempt to repair the disk using Disk Utility from your Tiger DVD failed, there are no other solutions available for this problem other than:
    • Attempting repair with the third-party disk utilities cited above.
    • Backing up whatever data can be saved, then reinstalling Mac OS X with an Erase and Install.
    See the article I cited above for details. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
    To avoid having to reinstall in situations like this, as funds permit you should consider investing in:
    • Implementing a comprehensive backup and recovery solution. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ.
    • Alsoft DiskWarrior and TechTool Pro.

    Follow these steps:
    1. Untar(extract) the downloaded tar file(package)

  • Why is the CS6 install PKG so slow?

    Ok so I can't use the clone solution anymore (without creating a serialization file etc.,) which we used to deploy using Casper.
    So using the 3.1 enterprise deployment tool I have created the install pkg, and loaded it to Casper Admin and ran an install and gave up after 40mins. Checked and made sure I was installing over AFP not SMB and gave up again after 40 mins and CS6 is still not installed.
    Today I rebuilt the pkg, to ensure I hadn't made any obvious errors, and decided to test it over ARD to see whether I had made a mistake in Casper. So far as with Casper remote, ARD hits 95% in around 10 mins then starts to slow down and has now been chundering on 97% for 35 mins so far 'running package scripts'.
    Up till CS6 we have been imaging a fully installed and configured Mac (including all software, CS5, Office, Fetch, Citrix etc, drivers and printers) at a users desk or in the workshop in 20 to 25 mins from netboot depending on how busy our network or servers are.
    Installing CS6 over ARD has just completed in 45 mins (and I will now transfer the pkg to Casper), this is exactly the reason I switched to cloning a configured HD in the first place.
    So now I have to inform our users (and 'the business') that our plans to rollout CS6 will take over twice as long and we may now need to find the resources to rollout 'out of hours' instead of re imaging divsions/depts while they are in their weekly meetings as we have done with every version so far. I'm afraid our users have been used to going to a meeting or lunch, returning and logging straight in and working, this will no longer be an option.
    ...Arrrrgh, rant over.
    Cheers
    Phil

    Hi,
    You can still use imaging with AAMEE 3.1. You just have to create the master machine (whosse image will be taken) by deploying an AAMEE 3.1 created package. So create a serialized package using AAMEE 3.1 (using 1st option of AAMEE 3.1) (not possible with AAMEE 3.0). Deploy this serialized package on the master machine. Once your master machine is successfully created, take its image and deploy it on the client machines and Adobe products will be succussfully installed and serialized on client machines. Hope this reduces your problems. There is no need to create a seperate serialization file with AAMEE 3.1.
    Having said that, the time taken for an AAMEE created package to deploy should be approximately the same as taken to deploy master collection directly. I agree that the progress shown on the installer is not correct as it is a native progress (not controlled by us), but typically complete CS6 master collection may take some time to complete. Is your master collection media kept on some remote network location?? In that case the time can vary significantly based on the speed of your network. Even on the same machine, the time may vary based on CPU utilization and various other factors.

  • Installing Rosetta from a script

    Hi,
    I need to be able to install the rosetta component in Snow Leopard from a script file. We have a management tool that allows us to run scripts on our macbooks. We need to install a new piece of software across the company and this software requires rosetta to be installed. Some of the older macbooks are fine but the newer ones need to have it installed.
    We can detect whether it's there or not but for love nor money I can't find out how to install it from the terminal or a script.
    I've tried;
    installer -pkg /path/to/Optional\ Installs.mpkg -target /
    which says that it is installed but looking at it none of the components there have actually been installed.
    There must be a way to tell the installer which features within the Optional Installs package need to be installed.
    Any ideas?
    Olly

    Hello,
    Did you ever figure out how to do this? I'm working on the same scenario. My next step was to copy the /usr/libexec/oah/ folder to another mac and figuring out how to add an entry to /Library/Receipts/InstallHistory.plist. Please let me know.
    Thanks!

  • Mac Mini OS 10.5.8 will not install .pkg or .mpkg files

    Reciently my Mac Mini has been prompting me to "choose an application" when I try to install .pkg or .mpkg files. This is preventing me from installing any new software on my computer. I've tried to repair permissions and that didn't help. I also tried to reinstall my OS from the disk that came with my computer. When I attempt to reinstall, my mac restarts and spits the disk out and no changes are apparent. What can I do to fix this?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Those packages are opened with the Installer.app. Perhaps it has become disassociated from these types of files on your Mac. To install, next time it asks you to choose an app, browse to the Installer and choose it. It is in Apps/Utilities.
    To permanently fix this issue, right click on a pkg or a mpkg file and select Get Info. In the Get Info window go to the Open with pane and choose the Installer as the correct app to open these files. Then press the Change All... button.

  • Can't install pkg

    Hi all,
    The problem is I can't install any software from a .pkg
    At the moment I'm trying to install MAMP and each time I get the same message, "The installer encountered an error that caused the instalation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance".
    Same is happening with all .pkg but I can install .app where you just have to drag to the apps folder just fine.
    Any ideas?

    I'm not sure about Pacifist, but for me (in Tiger) double-clicking on a .pkg installs it. I did this last night with a bunch of patches I had saved from Software Update. I believe you can also do this in a Terminal window:
    <pre>install -pkg SomePackage.pkg -target "/"</pre>

    Hello,
    all you need to do is add the following lines into ~/.profile
    For example if you are runing as root then edit /.profile and put the following lines in /.profile:
    PATH=$PATH:/opt/csw/bin/
    export PATH
    Save the file and logout and log back in. This should let you use the pkg-get command from the root account.
    You can check which script you are using by typing:
    # which pkg-get
    This sould bring back:

  • Auto install printerdriver from CUPS with info from dns record

    I have a Linux server with CUPS serving our printers. Authentication is needed to print. For easy installation on our Macs, I added my printerinfo to our DNS so that the printers are browseable in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion. This setup only partly works on Mac (it works from airprint capable clients).
    When I limit the list of printers to 5 or so, I can install those printers by clicking the "+" button in the printer configuration screen, and choosing the printer from the list. The printqueue is created and the correct driver is installed. I can use the printer without problems.
    When I add more printers to DNS I don't get the list of printers directly when clicking on the "+" sign (the list is too big I guess). I get the "add printer" screen, with a list of all my printers. When I select a printer, the "location" field is taken from the DNS record (that's fine), but the driver falls back to "generic PS driver" instead of the driver I have set in the DNS record.
    What's the difference  between the "shortcut" when only a few printers are browseable, and the "add printer" wizard that list more of them? They seem to get the driver info  differently.
    As a workaround: anyone knows how to add a printer via commandline with auto configuration, the same way as clicking the "+" sign and choosing a printer ?

  • Have problem installing .pkg

    I can't open .pkg files. When i double click it, it says which application i should use, but i can't find the installer app from finder. So what should I do? Maybe someone could recommend some other utility to install .pkg.

    You need Installer.app & it should automatically open files with the ".pkg" extension.
    To resolve this, first make sure Installer.app is in the CoreServices folder (path: System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app). If not, either reinstall Snow Leopard using your installer DVD (it won't erase your files) & updating it to current versions, or you can try using Pacifist to extract the app from the DVD & place it into the CoreServices folder.
    Once you are sure the app is in place, highlight any .pkg file in Finder & open the 'Get Info' window for it. In the "Open with" section of the Get Info window, select Installer (which may require choosing the "Other…" item & navigating to it). Then click the "Change all …" button below that (if necessary) to associate the app with all .pkg files.

  • Cannot install .pkg and .mpkg files

    I have recently tried to install .pkg and .mpkg files but without success. When I double-click on a file, the installer icon appears in dock but I get the following error message: The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.installer.pagecontroller error -1.).
    The problem persists despite repairing permissions.
    I have read several messages about this problem but there seems to be only one solution, and that is to reinstall the OS. I am seriously trying to avoid this unless there is a way to recover all my applications, including Parallels Desktop, Windows 7 and other Win applications.
    I would greatly appreciate any advice. Many thanks.

    The problem persists despite repairing permissions.
    Did you restart your computer after doing the above?
    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select *Disk Utility.*
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click *First Aid.*
    Click _*Repair Disk.*_
    Restart your computer when done.

  • Script to rebuild all installed packages from ABS

    I realize pacbuilder is for that, but it doesn't seem to work properly for me. Skipping a lot of packages etc.
    Anyway, I've made this very simple script to just rebuild every installed package from core/extra/community. Sorry for the localized echo output, but I think it's all very simple and straightforward to understand.
    Edit:
    I've improved it a bit, now it should work flawlessly and remember what stuff it has to finish no matter when you ^C out of it. Also it installs all compiled packages, if you want to avoid that, remove -i switch from makepkg.

  • Install JAVA from OSX-install discs...

    Hi.
    I've lost my JAVA (long story :-(), and I was told to try and use Pacifist to install Java from my OSX-discs without having to do a complete OSX-install...
    The problem is that I don't know what to install from the discs - when I open them i pacifist, and search for JAVA, there are alot of hits in very different sections of the disc... Does anyone know which "parts" to install to re-create JAVA?
    Brgds, Lars

    Thanks Simon, but this is what I'm trying - hence my post above where I ask if anyone knows exactly what to reinstall from the installation-disc (with the recommended program, Pacifist)...
    As I write, I've tried to reinstall the java.pkg, but this doesn't seem to be enough, so I asked if anyone knew exactly what I needed to reinstall to recreate java fom scratch?

  • How do I install windows from USB on Macbook pro 3,1

    How do I install windows from USB on Macbook pro 3,1 ?
    My Superdrive is far from super anymore, So I managed to make an extern drive with both Snow Leopard Partition, Lion Partition (Since I thought Boot Camp 4,1 would bypass my problem), and Time Machine partition, Since I got 1. USB drive that works.
    - My general issue is that Boot camp Refuse to see the USB drive - (Many "how to"´s though show how they install windows perfectly through the USB port, but they use airbooks!, and somehow the Macbook will not ?)
    I fix that issue with >> rEFIt <<, that suddenly makes it possible for the Mac to see the USB drive, and partitions.
    Which was very strange since I could use an extern HD with the whole installation to start up wipe the whole disk, and then use my extern drive with partitions to install Snow Leopard and get everything as before with timemachine. Very smart with timemachine, but very lucky that I have a extern drive that runs the whole system and that I made the partitionsdrive before. DVD-drives are the past!
    Point: So the original system could see the Snow Leopard installation USB disk, but boot camp cannot find the USB drive ?????????
    After rEFIt I booted and then I got this error:
    Starting bootmgr.efi
    Error: Unsupported while loading bootmgr.efi
    I read it could be a problem with the Windows software, so I purchased an extern DVD drive, Used Disk Utility to make an image (.DMG), then used another program to convert the .dmg to .ISO.
    Then downloaded a trialversion of vmWare fusion, and installed windows from the iso. Everything worked brilliant, except and that is why I want to use boot camp, Running windows in another program while running the mac system is a little hacky and slow.
    Point: Nothing is wrong with the windows software, and windows runs fine.
    I then downloaded the Windows DVD / USB Tool, reformatted a USB drive as Master Boot Partition, MS-Dos Fat partition, then after lots of struggling got Vmware, windows to recognise the USB drive. And installed the windows software on the USB drive, as all the walkthroughs recommend.
    Then I tried for "fun"! to just install windows form the extern USB drive, and with rEFIt it will see the drive and start to do something, but then when it starts to boot, the screen just turns into black and nothing happens, and you can see the drive does NOTHING. (I think it is because I only have 1 USB drive and the Extern DVD drive does not get enough power, but again the mac refuse to see the USB drive unless it is a Snow Leopard installation USB-drive!
    Well trying to install Windows Ultimate 64 Bit, which worked great in vmware, because that program installed from the .ISO file that I had on the desktop, but trying with Boot Camp did not get anywhere, what kind of **** program is this boot camp anyway!?, but then I try the new USB disk with windows made from windows, thorugh rEFIt, it sees the disk and then starts and then I get this ERROR:
    rEFIt - Booting Legacy OS
    Starting legacy loader
    Using load option ´USB´
    Error: Not found returned from legacy loader
    Error: Not found from LocateDevicePath
    (x 9 times)
    Error: Load Error while (re)opening our installation volume
    The firmware refused to boot from the selected volume. Note that external hard drives are not well-supported by Apple´s firmware for legacy OS booting
    (Hey Apple please send out a updated firmware that fix this issue?!)
    So how do I do it ? - or is the only option to fix the partition running the system from the extern disk. Format the whole drive in 2 from the "bottom" and install windows and then afterwards install Mac on the other partition ?  Or just run windows on the mac and forget about mac software ? What a stupid solution...

    There are strings in the pliist file to add other Macs so that you can use some USB-DVD drives.
    This is 5 page thread, so a little more 'meat' to it:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3410900?start=60&tstart=0
    And on PC booting Windows from a USB DVD to do the install is usually a piece of cake, sometimes you just need to specify that USB in the BIOS boot order and sometimes select via F12 (or another Fkey) and that is it.
    What you have here seems to be everything and everyone is excluded unless there is a  mac-model device ID string that specifies yes.  An unnecessary hurdle.

Maybe you are looking for
