swinstall failed

David_367 — Tue, 10 Jun 2003 09:20:53 GMT

Hi All,

when I did a swinstall, the system complained the following errors:
"WWW:/var/spool/sw/libiconv-1.9-sd-100.depot": You do not have the required permissions to perform this operation.
Check permissions using the "swacl" command or see your system administrator for assistance. Or, to manage applications designed and packaged for nonprivileged mode, see the
"run_as_superuser" option in the "sd" man page.

what should I do?

Thanks in advance

David

Normally this error indicates an error on the swinstall command line or a corrupt download file/invalid source.

Verify you can list the source first;
swlist -s WWW:/var/spool/sw/libiconv-1.9-sd-100.depot

If it didnt work then your source doesnt exist.
If it did work then your swinstall command should be something like;

swinstall -s WWW:/var/spool/sw/libiconv-1.9-sd-100.depot \*

This is a GNU package for 'ibiconv', a character set conversion library. Review the installation instructions, which don't include 'swinstall':

Installation:

As usual for GNU packages:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
$ make
$ make install

Hi,
I guess you are trying to install the S/W from a remote machine ( WWW ). On the remote system run
swacl -l host

and check for the permissions.

If it is truly a SD depot, you can also try restarting the swagentd:

/sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
/sbin/init.d/swagentd start

restart swagentd:

# ps -ef|grep swagentd
# kill -9
# swagentd -r

That should fix the problem.

Ensure /var/depot is intact. May be, you can see the bdf command output. See the command output of lvdisplay -v logical_volume_for_var>.

Sometimes this error is encountered due to missig files & corupted file system also.
