Since so many question on internet about having a trouble when installing oracle on solaris machine because some prerequirement packages cannot be found on the machine,

and since i can’t find the answer trough internet (or i just too lazy to googling? ),

This time i tried to find it out..

Usualy they have these problems :

1. packages SUNWi1cs,SUNWi15cs,SUNWsprox not installed.

2. when installed not from CD directly, the file name become capital like SUNWI1CS.

3. when installing the necessary package “package not found” error message appears whereas the package source is available.

like you can look at:

Hopefully this article can solve that problems.

First is…why SUNWi1cs,SUNWi15cs,SUNWsprox package can’t be found?

By default solaris not installed that packages. you can found that packages on CD1 or download from here. If you want to install directly from disk all you need is mount the disk and then type this command.

~# pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0/Solaris_10/Product SUNWi1cs SUNWi15cs SUNWsprox

note: SUNWsprox package is not necessary any more if your machine is solaris 10.

If you want to install not directly from disk, copy the source first to your solaris machine for example copy your source to /mnt.

Goto /mnt directory unpack the source.

Type this command

~# pkgadd –d ./ SUNWi1cs

Do the same to all packages.

The second problem is why when installed not from CD directly, the file name become capital like SUNWI1CS? I tought that u opened the packages first to windows operating system before copied to your solaris machine. If you copied the packages from cd installation to windows operating system before transferred to solaris machine the file name will become capital.

And the last problems is just because your file name is change into capital file name so your solaris can’t found the packages.

done..
