Michael,
Thanks for your concise answer!
Thanks to William too :-)
Here's what I did:
1 - download findutils package from sunfreeware.com (using OSOL gnome
desktop)
- unpacked
- pkg install findutils*
2. After 1, the locate command was not found yet. (PATH?)
Going into /usr/local/bin and running ./locate gave me: (missing
dependency?)
-----------------------
erwin at opensolaris:/usr/local/bin# ./locate
ld.so.1: locate: fatal: libintl.so.8: open failed: No such file or
directory
Killed
erwin at opensolaris:/usr/local/bin#
------------------------
3. - next I added sunfreeware.com to package list with:
pfexec pkg set-publisher -O http://pkg.sunfreeware.com:9000
sunfreeware.com
4. - next
erwin at opensolaris:~$ pfexec pkg install SUNWgnu-findutils
DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB)
Completed 1/1 12/12 0.3/0.3
PHASE ACTIONS
Install Phase 38/38
Still I can't run locate command...
Nor does 'find' seems to find 'locate'
Question:
Will doing an install with pkg install like I did handle dependencies?
How do I solve this?
B.t.w thanks for pointing to documentation, however it is somehow
overwhelming :-) howmany thousands of pages??
This one thoug very good about pkg:
