Solaris

Hi All,

I need to install a swedish locale on a solaris machine(ver. 10).I have the package downloaded.Can anyone please guide me through the steps and things i need to keep in mind when doing the same?

go to the directory where you have stored the package and unzip/uncompressed it.Then..
# pkgadd -d .
Follow through the instructions..

Hi Incredible,

Thanks for getting back..Could you please help me with one more thing.
I want to install a swedish locale.can you guide me with the file as i guess i dont ve it with me.also is it the case that locales are stored at some given path if yes which one...

have a look at the command "localeadm"... the manpage should answer most of your questions!

Hi Duke,

I did go through the man page but still have a few queries.
As i had mentioned before i am trying to install the swedish locale.
Below are my queries..

when i do a localeadm -a

The following regions are installed on frtsunserver on Mon Sep 14 11:43:20 IST 2009
POSIX (C)
North America (incomplete) (nam)
[ Canada (English), Canada (French), United States, Mexico ]

Northern Europe (neu)
[ Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway (Bokmal), Norway (Nyorsk), Sweden ]
Korean (korean)
Done.

and when i do a localeadm -q neu. I get the below


# localeadm -q neu
locale/region name is neu

The Northern Europe region (neu) is installed on this system without messages


Now does the above mean that the locale is already installed.Is there any way of finding out the description of the installed locale.
Or can you guide me with the steps for the installation.

it looks like swedish is already installed... so no need to install it again as far as i can see.

Duke,

But how do i go about accessing that file..or use the file(locale)..
