Hi,
I am trying to install WMQ7 on solaris(u5.10 x86-64). I have downloaded the package CZ0EQML from passport advantage and unzipped/tarred. I then follow the instructions (from infocenter):
. The response I get is "pkgadd: option requires an argument --d".
I have also tried pkgadd -d mqm and pkgadd -d gsk7bas but I get "pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in ...../mqm"
I have also searched for any .img files in the directory in which I have unzipped/untarred the file but nothing -
It sounds like there's something obvious I'm not doing to get the install going but I just can't see it!
Any help appreciated.
Thanks |

You might refer to the WMQ Quick Beginnings for Solaris manual GC34-6921.
I'm not sure what part of the InfoCenter you are referring.

Thanks for the response.
The information in the WMQ7 infocenter (quick beginnings for solaris) is the same as in the manual GC34-6921. Unfortunately, neither help me to install MQ7.  |

| Please tell us what files ARE in your unpacked directory. Perhaps show us an ls -l output? |

pkgadd -d requires an argument to identify where the install files are located. eg.
if they are in the current directory.

I would expect you to see a .img file in that directory (the same one as mqlicense.sh).
From what I can see on the web, that package name is the 7.0.0.1 fix pack.
Try using 7.0.1.3 instead - it's much more recent code.

I had tried 7.0.1.3 but I experience the same behaviour - no .img file, same pkgadd errors. Here's the listing of my unpacked 7.0.1.3 directory -

Well, the readme does say you need to supply the .img file as an argument with the -d option.
If you don't have the .img file, you can't run the command.
What do you get from running this:
| Code: |
| tar -tvf CZJ3VML.tar |

What it actually says is:
pkgadd -d.
... that is, with a dot ( it really is there and is not punctuation), the -d option to pkgadd indicates the directory where the
packages are to be found.

That's it  
Thank you very much.
All that remains is to pick up the clumps of my hair from the floor and try to put back on my scalp! |

Did you seem my earlier post containing "pkgadd -d ." ? (with the dot)
You can install using an .img file or an unpacked directory structure.
