Ah, that's a different issue. As currently documented, you cannot build ON on the OpenSolaris distribution due to missing (and non-redistributable) packages. That's why ON _requires_ the use of SX:CE. Installing "all" of the stuff in the Indiana repository still won't get you a working build system. The packages needed to do the build simply DO NOT EXIST there. You must get them from SX:CE. (There are blogs that explain the details, presuming you have both the OpenSolaris distribution and a couple of the SX:CE distribution.) For what it's worth, this is an Indiana (OpenSolaris distribution) issue, and I'd recommend taking it up with that project team. There's nothing that ON can really do about it. I assume that the Indiana team will eventually address making it possible to build ON in some manner, as they obviously _MUST_ do this in order to have SX:CE terminated. It's an _obvious_ problem. (Really. You couldn't have thought that we would get rid of SX:CE _before_ it was possible to build everything on the OpenSolaris distribution ... could you? I'm sure we do things at times that turn out to be foolish, but I seriously doubt we're that stupid.) -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
