pkgadd with admin fine (solaris 10)
Hi,
I am trying to install a simple gcc package on a sparc (solaris 10) machine using the admin file (called admtest), but it is not working. I am getting the "Select package prompt". Can anyone have a look at it and tell me what am i doing wrong.

Code:
[root@sol10 ~] # cat admtest 
mail=root
instance=overwrite
partial=nocheck
runlevel=nocheck
idepend=nocheck
rdepend=nocheck
space=ask
setuid=nocheck
conflict=nocheck
action=nocheck
networktimeout=60
networkretries=3
authentication=quit
keystore=/var/sadm/security
proxy=
basedir=default
[root@sol10 ~] # ls -l | grep gcc
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root     1921536 Jul 27  2010 libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root         512 Jul 24 15:12 SMClgcc346
[root@sol10 ~] # pkgadd -a /root/admtest -d ./libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local 

The following packages are available:
  1  SMClgcc346     libgcc
                    (sparc) 3.4.6

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:

Thanks
Appreciate all the help

either just press enter key or just input the number of package shown above . in this case is 1.
Simply press enter and it will proceed

Pressing Enter would defeat the purpose of the entire exercise (automation)

blank out mail ie mail= and try putting the admin file to the default location /var/sadm/install/admin. just run
Code:
# pkgadd -a admtest -d ./libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local

happend to me when setting up public key authentication, confusion of the root home directory. just a hunch.

You can try something like this:
Code:
echo "all" | pkgadd -a /root/admtest -d ./libgcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local

Perfect, it works. Thanks bartus11
Just a note: Your method doesn't require the admin file, actually we are bypassing the problem. Moreover we need to created the /usr/local file manually if it doesn't exist, otherwise the installation will fail.
