Failed to install SUNWsprot, I need the /usr/ccs/bin/make

807559Nov 24 2004 — edited Feb 20 2009
I feel exhausted after spending a day to fix an installation problem of oracle 9 on Solaris 9.

I hit the problem that the Oracel installation program cannot find the make file.

And now, I found out that the package, SUNWsprot have not been installed, and that why, the make program cannot be found in the path /usr/ccs/bin

I tried to locate the package in the disk 2 of Solaris 9
and run the pkgadd, but I got the following error message.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
# pkgadd -d . SUNWsprot

Processing package instance <SUNWsprot> from </tmp>

base directory.
## Processing package information.

Installation of <SUNWsprot> failed (internal error).
No changes were made to the system.
# pkgchk SUNWsprot
WARNING: no pathnames were associated with <SUNWsprot>
# pkginfo SUNWsprot
ERROR: information for "SUNWsprot" was not found
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I got the same result, when I direct enter the path of the cdrom or copy it to the /tmp directory.

Please advise if my copy of the SUNWsprot have problem, or the command that I used is incorrect.
I can proceed without the make/package installed.

Please give me a hand, thanks
