trouble installing depots on C110 workstation

[Mark Langlois_1]

My workstation runs 10.20, and when I downloaded the ACE workstation bundle, I could not install it using swinstall. The install was suspended and this was in the logfile:

Software from the Application CDs install fine.
No other depots (from venders) will install on this system. Only from CDs. Any Ideas?

The message you're seeing is just letting us know that "/usr/conf/h/_inttypes.h" couldnt be found or copied from depot. More than likey the problem is due to a bad or incomplete download of the Workstation ACE. I'd download it again.

hope this helps!

The problem is with depot files, it seems. The download went fine, and I was able to install the ACE depot in another system using NFS. After installing it with the depot file in the second system, I copied it into the /var/spool/sw (in the second) and was able to install it from the remote directory into the first. So I can install files that are NOT in the *.depot format, but ones that are give me an error (and a headache!). I had to install Perl 5.6.0 the same way.

Hi Mark,

go into the option menu and choose the option :
allow to resolve the target locally.

That should do the trick.
