As my proxy server has username and password authentication, I tried out the following command:
export http_proxy=http://username:password at hostelproxy.daiict.ac.in:3128 After that I tried to open the package manager using gkdu /usr/bin/packagemanager The package manager pops up but there is no option of install/remove..only reload comes up.. I tried to user the command pkg install gcc-dev but it gives me the same error as follows: ankit at ankitsolaris:/# pkg install gcc-dev Creating Plan -Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pkg", line 1440, in ? ret = main_func() File "/usr/bin/pkg", line 1406, in main_func return install(img, pargs) File "/usr/bin/pkg", line 445, in install verbose = verbose, noexecute = noexecute) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/client/image.py", line 1282, in make_install_plan ip.evaluate() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/client/imageplan.py", line 344, in evaluate self.evaluate_fmri(f) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/client/imageplan.py", line 187, in evaluate_fmri m = self.image.get_manifest(pfmri) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/client/image.py", line 516, in get_manifest m = self._fetch_manifest(fmri) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/client/image.py", line 468, in _fetch_manifest mcontent = retrieve.get_manifest(self, fmri) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/client/retrieve.py", line 75, in get_manifest raise NameError, "could not retrieve manifest '%s' from '%s'" % \ NameError: could not retrieve manifest 'gcc-dev at 0.5.11%2C5.11-0.86%3A20080424T195512Z' from 'http://pkg.opensolaris.org:80' I don't understand which setting i am getting wrong which is not letting me connect to the IPS repository. Is it something related to disabling of nwam and enabling default?
