| I am attempting to install Sun's distribution of Mozilla1.4 on my OW/SOL 8/ Ultra5. All I want to do is pop mail and browse. An associate runs it ok on OW and says I don't need gnome et al if I'm not going to be compiling it. Sooooo, I hacked the install script, mozinstall, to install just the Mozilla packages SUNWmozgm SUNWmozmail SUNWmoznav SUNWmozchat. The install of SUNWmozgm works. The others fail with the message pkgadd: ERROR: no package associated with <SUNWmozmail> When I run pkgadd in the directory that contains the above packages in subdirectories, it only picks up SUNWmozgm. So for some reason the others are not considered valid packages. I obtained the packages via ftp through Netscape, then unzipped the tar archive file, and unpacked the file with no problems so I don't think there is anything wrong with the files. The top level directories for SUNWmozgm and SUNWmozmail both contain the same set of files. The pkgmap file for SUNWmozmail contains lines with keywords postinstall and preremove that aren't in the pkgmap file for SUNWmozgm, FWIW. Any thoughts or suggestions on what to look for? A better place to take this problem? Thanks! Rod |
