Thanks for the hint. The read test worked, but there was nothing in /usr/xpg4/bin except sh. I installed SUNWxcu4, which put a bunch of stuff in /usr/xpg4/bin including grep, and now the installation script works.

For some reason it looks like your shell is not reading the output of the "read" commands or your grep is not support the "-E" argument. Try the following: $ read A foo bar $ echo $A foo bar If you get the output of A, the problem is with grep. On Solaris we try to use the one at /usr/xpg4/bin/grep , do you have it? You might need to install it, because we use the binaries at /usr/xpg4/bin to compile ossec... Anyone else using Solaris that can give some help? Thanks, -- Daniel B.
