Sun Studio 10 Linux, RHEL3 U4, install fails on openmotif21.

Question

Hello everyone,
As a long-time user of Sun WorkShop... I mean Forte.. I mean Studio; it was with great anticipation that I downloader Sun Studio 10 for Linux.
On one machine it failed to install and on another it installed properly.
Here are the details:
- Machine 1: RHEL3 U2 (x86/i686), small install: Installation of Studio 10 went fine.
- Machine 2: RHEL3 U4 (x86/i686), complete install : Installation of Studio 10 failed. The following can be gathered from the logs under /var/opt/sun:

And everything is removed. Is this issue documented somewhere? Is there a workaround?
Thanks for reading,

Answer 1

Deselecting 'system supporting packages' from the Sun Studio 10 installation list made the trick and Studio finished installing.
However, I have a few concerns:
1) Since Studio will be using the system's openmotif, will it be supported? (I guess not).
2) Since openmotif-2.1.31-2_IST.i386.rpm from the Studio 10 IDE kits lands under /usr/OpenMotif-2.1.31 and should not conflict with any kind of other/system openmotif, why didn't SUN just create a sun-openmotif-support package? This would prevent a naming conflict when trying to install on RHEL3 if RHEL's openmotif21 is already installed?
3) It appears to work fine, even without SUN's provided openmotif.
Cheers,
Vincent
