thanks for your reply. With your suggestions and after installing java
1.6 (from jdk-6u6-solaris-i586.tar), it works!
Hopefully, the installation of java 1.6 is correct, and the link is done
during the installation:
w2100-root% ll /usr/java
2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 15 Jun 3 14:41 /usr/java ->
jdk/jdk1.6.0_06
A simple question: is java 1.6 requirement explained in the official
installation document?
In the document 820-0413-12, at page 24, thre is:
"SRSS 4.0 requires JRE version 1.5 or later. The latest Java release is
available at:"
SRSS uses the DHCP software provided by the operating system. On the
SXDE release you are using that software requires java 1.6. and always
uses the Java version pointed to by /usr/java. Unless you found a bug in
the SXDE installer, the system should be set up after install to have
/usr/java pointing to a 1.6 instance.
In some older release of SXDE I ran into problems myself, when I tried
to use some software (written for an older Solaris version), which also
uses the Java version pointed to by /usr/java, but which did not work
with JRE 1.6.
The attempt to fix such issues by changing the /usr/java symlink to
point to an older JRE or JDK breaks system software, such as the dhcp
tools, that relies on /usr/java pointing to a newer JRE.
The JRE requirement for SRSS only concerns software that is part of SRSS
itself and that uses the Java version you specified when running
utinstall to install SRSS (you don't need to accept the default of
/usr/java there, but can point SRSS to a suitable java version of your
choice. But SRSS also depends on a working operating system, so if parts
of the OS are broken, whether by an installer bug or by a misguided
configuration change, parts of SRSS built upon the broken feature will
also fail.
And of course with SXDE you are using an unsupported platform for SRSS,
so some adjustments or workarounds may be needed to make things work.
