[Evolution] Re: Running Evolution under Solaris 9 (8/03)

["Brian Kolaci" <bk Kola com>]

Hi Andy,

Sorry to be a bother, but I got the installer to go farther,
but not to completion.  I read the bottom where it said there
may be a failure, however there was no /opt/gnome/bin/evolution.

You have the sed script there to modify 2003.01.14.12.39
to 9.4.2003.06.13.16.21

I verified that the gnome libraries from Sun have the former,
not the latter.  I had installed it back in March, but did another
Solaris 9 download yesterday to confirm, and my sun gnome package tgz
was identical to the one I installed in March.  Therefore, I ran
the installer without the sed and it *appeared* to work.  It went
through all the screens, downloaded several packages from the mirror,
then failed on the verify stage.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Brian
