Well, as a messy workaround to get your software installed, you could perhaps create a little script called "uname" that returns the correct value for "-p", put it in a directory, and put that directory ahead of /bin in your $PATH. This will work if the installation script doesn't fully qualify the uname path. But I'm surprised that you're getting a blank value. What kind of x64 laptop is this? What do these commands say? /bin/uname -a isainfo -v /usr/sbin/smbios -t 4 It's definitely a bug if "uname -p" returns a blank value. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
