I am attempting to install SRSS on SuSE Enterprise 10 but the install fails due to several "ProductName: is read only" errors. It looks like the best fix is to repair the RPM. According to Bill Quayle the library called "iu_lib" needs a small adjustment.
My question is this: Has someone (preferably someone from Sun) posted the .spec file for building this RPM? Thanks, Jimmy Bill's Original find and explanation: Quayle, Bill Wed, 13 Sep 2006 11:05:47 -0700 I'm also trying to do the install on RHEL AS 3 u4, and having the same "read only" issue. The SUNWuti-3.1-32.i386.rpm contains a library called "iu_lib" On line 466 of that file, and within the GetPackagePath function is the line: typeset -r ProductName="$1" When the GetPackagePath function is called from the installer, it tries to set ProductName, which is, of course, read only and cannot be set. I'm not sure why this works under Solaris, but if you change the line to read: typeset ProductName="$1" re-build the rpm and stuff it back in place, you should be good to go. I'm assuming this beta was tested on Linux - so it seems like an install script should work... Anyone at Sun care to comment?
