Try to download the patch again, maybe it was corrupted.

How do you open the shar file you downloaded?

sh PHCO_30544 ?

Is there a checksum associated with this patch (on the download page)? If so, does the file you have downloaded have the correct checksum? If not, download again.

Hi Kyriakos,
Try to see does the file
/usr/lib/pa20_64/libpthread.1
exists and what is its attributes. There should be another one and in /usr/lib directory, this library is for POSIX threading. But I think you need the first one for 64 bit threading.

Hi
As you can see below, the pa20_64 file has 0 bytes, which, I guess is not normal.

# ll /usr/lib/pa20_64/libpthread.1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 0 Apr 14 2004 /usr/lib/pa20_64/libpthread.1

# ll /usr/lib/libpthread.1
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 139264 Mar 10 10:42 /usr/lib/libpthread.1

Does this information help ?

Also, on the information page of the patch, there is checksum info for the individual files of the patch, but not for the file that is downloaded.

Can I do cksum on the files inside the depot ?

What about checksum? Are they the same?

You can try to remove the empty file and create a symbolic link to a "good" one and try to install again.

The error message I believe you are seeing is that it says it is unable to locate the "remote" file xxxxxx.
This is something that you may be able to cure by changing one of the swinstall options.
use -x select_local=true on the command line, or select the All targets to resolve source locally button under the options menu in the tui/gui

A couple of days ago I installed java1.4.1_03 and now I tried to install 1.4.2_07.

I got a similar error message during installation. I checked and the checksum of the new java was wrong.

So, I assume, the problem should be the same with the patch too. Can anyone tell how to find what the checksum should be for a patch ? They list the checksums of the files inside the depot but not the checksum of the depot itself.

Thank you all for your help so far.

Try to download it directly from ftp:

"due to an internal error on the remote system"

# nslookup your_host_name
# nslookup your_ip_address

Is the output the same from both commands ?

The replies from nslookup are not the same.
The host_ip returns the ip
The host_name returns 127.0.0.1

Re: Problem with patch PHCO_30544

Robert-Jan Goossens_1 — Thu, 10 Mar 2005 07:39:35 GMT

both from files, or the first from dns and the last from files ?

Re: Problem with patch PHCO_30544

Kyriakos Tsourapas — Thu, 10 Mar 2005 07:44:27 GMT

Both from files

Re: Problem with patch PHCO_30544

Check the /etc/hosts, should be something like below.

1xx.x.x.48 your_host_name
127.0.0.1 localhost loopback
#

If you change somthing in the hostname or IP kick the swagentd and try the swinstall again.

# swagentd -r

please post the replies nslookup is giving you.
You can also check how nslookup is finding these by doing nslookup policy, although nslookup should tell you how it is finding that hostnamne/ip address match up.

Re: Problem with patch PHCO_30544

Kyriakos Tsourapas — Thu, 10 Mar 2005 07:59:41 GMT

Problem solved.
There was a
127.0.0.1 host_name
in the /etc/hosts

I removed it and the installation worked.

THANK YOU ALL for your help !!!
