swinstall fails on postinstall script

[Jun Zhang_4]

Hi,
I prepared a psf for creating a depot, which is done by,
swpackage -s psffile @ /path/depotname
This step is ok, but the following step failed at execution phase,
swinstall -s /path/depotname prodname
with the message in the /var/adm/sw/swagent.log file,
+++++message start
config.status: PAM_config.h is unchanged
Running '0 -I/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1 /opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp -v 2>&1' ex

If I run the postinstall script manually, it will succeed, so perl is there. I need to know why the '0' came up instead of some command, and what swinstall does differently in invoking the script than the manual way.

The install-scripts (pre/post) run in a "limited" environment. The PATH variable is set before the scripts are run. You have to extend the PATH-variable in your postinstall to access perl and other tools.
