Hi Alan, James, a recent converter from Mac to Solaris, was simply trying to relate his experience from the former to latter. What he could have done, after switching user to root, is to either run the pkg-get command with the full path: /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get or cd to /opt/csw/bin, then run the pkg-get command. OTOH, there seem to be so many ways to set the PATH variable (e.g., defining PATH in .bashrc, .profile, .bash_profile, /etc/default/login, /etc/default/su, & probably some others that I am not familiar with), perhaps someone more knowledgeable in Solaris (like yourself) could provide a simple HOWTO. Many of us will greatly benefit. This message posted from opensolaris.org
