The file was located in /Desktop.
I rm'ed that file and downloaded it again but this time the file came thru with a different name, specifically, SolarisStudio12.3-solaris-x86-pkg.tar.bz2. Previously it was named without the "tar" node. Any way I unzip it and just for grins ran pkgadd naming the tarball and not unexpectedly it did not like it. Melted the tar ball which created the directory /Desktop/SolarisStudio12.3-solaris-x86-pkg and tried pkgadd again but to no good. Inside the directory SolarisStudio12.3-solaris-x86-pkg was a shell script called solarisstudio.sh which i executed and which in-turn seemed to install the suite. Have not yet actually tried to do anything of note with it but it seems to be where I would expected it to be and the C compiler appears to work so I guess I'm good to go for the moment.
I did not mention this preiously but this install of Solaris 10 is in a VM, specifically VMWare Fusion 4.1.1. If I get a bit of time I'll create a new vm and try the install with the pkg in /tmp as I would like to get the pkgadd to install the suite as what was loaded appears to be basically the same thing as would have been loaded if the "bin" version of the suite had been installed and from what I've read the bin version can not be updated - just reinstalled I'm guessing.

Hi,
This is not a question thread, but rather a solution to an issue I have encountered on Solaris 11.
It turns out that pkgadd is not available by default on Solaris 11. The solution is to install it with:
pkg install SUNWpkgcmdsI hope this will save people some time.
