Hello,
I tried installing MQ v.6.0 on a Solaris 10 server. I tried to do a pkgadd -d <pkgname> and got the following error:
[/downloads/mqm ] pkgadd -d p000-L050524.img
The following packages are available:
1 gsk7bas Certificate and SSL Base Runtime (gsk7bas)
(sparc) 7.0.3.15
2 gsk7bas64 Certificate and SSL Base Runtime (gsk7bas64)
(sparcv9) 7.0.3.15
3 mqm WebSphere MQ for Sun Solaris
(sparcv9) 6.0.0.0
Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: 3
Processing package instance <mqm> from </downloads/mqm/p000-L050524.img>
WebSphere MQ for Sun Solaris(sparcv9) 6.0.0.0

/var/tmp//installFVa4Oo/checkinstallIVa4Oo: /tmp/sh74990: cannot create
pkgadd: ERROR: request script did not complete successfully
Installation of <mqm> failed.

| You're running this as root, right? Since there is space available on /tmp it sounds like you don't have permissions to create a file there. Try the install from the root account. |

I thought everone could create files in /tmp .... but you're right, it should be run as "root"

I am running as root. It does look like I cannot create a file in this directory. This is very odd indeed.
[/downloads/mqm ] id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) |

Is it mounted read-only?

Not sure if this will help at all, but I had a similar issue a few weeks back, though it was installing client to a Solaris 8 box:
Processing package instance <mqm> from
</mnt/mq60solaris_client/mqclient.img>
WebSphere MQ Client for Sun Solaris
(sparcv9) 6.0.1.0

denied
/var/tmp/dstreAAAyhaGRF/mqm/install/request: logins: execute permission
denied
I know it's not exactly the same problem, but it as similar in that it appears that root doesn't have access to something we know it does.
I was running this install as root and outside of the install I had no issues running these commands.
server:/var/tmp/dstreAAAyhaGRF/mqm/install# logins -l mqm
mqm 198 mqm 198 MQ Series Administrator,,,
server:/var/tmp/dstreAAAyhaGRF/mqm/install# logins -g mqm
mqm 198 mqm 198 MQ Series Administrator,,,
Opened a PMR with IBM on this one and though they had me check a lot of things, all of which were already OK:
1) is root a member of mqm?
2) mqm ID and group already exist?
3) check for permissions to /dev/null
4) check if root is umask 22
5) make sure the O/S is running 64-bit
The one thing that ended up solving this problem - and I have no idea why - is our Unix guys created me a new ID called 'install' and gave it superuser privelege. Using this ID, I was able to get past the error.
We've installed MQ (client and/or server) to hundreds of machines, and this was the first time running into this.
So maybe one of the above will help you out.
Cheers

ls -lt /tmp
does it has write permissions ? if not chmod +rwx /tmp
then
cd /tmp ,
touch somefile
if the above command is successful then the install should work |

Geez.... it was a permission issue.
/tmp was not owned by root by rather
drwxrwxr-x 15 226 12201 1775 Aug 31 11:17 tmp
I issued the following command chown -R root:root /tmp
and voila it worked.
Thanks for helping me hash this out. |
