Hi all,

I am tring to install CVS on my solaris machine.

so, I got a package cvs-1.11.22-sol10-x86-local from internet, and did this

"pkgadd -d cvs-1.11.22-sol10-x86-local"

and the output I got is

pkgadd: ERROR: unable to open temporary contents file image
(errno 11: Resource temporarily unavailable)

Installation of <SMCcvs> failed (internal error) - package partially
installed.

I thought that it is a space issue and did verified disk space

df -h

so I have set env var TMPDIR to /export/home/tmp

but I am still getting the same error

I have even checked the swap space and I have plenty of it.

I am not sure why it is failing!

can someone help me with this.

okay, did you change permissions of the new folder? somthing like:

chmod 1777 /export/home/tmp
export TMPDIR=/export/home/tmp *or* setenv TMPDIR /export/home/tmp

Then try again:

pkgadd -d <name_of_package>

Let us know if that works!!

Cheers

Hey... I have this problem too...
