Solaris SPARC

Solaris install issue

I downloaded ActiveTcl8.5.7.0.290198-solaris-sparc-2.8-threaded.tar.gz and when I install it, it fails with the error:

TEAcup @ /net/phoebus/oagmgr/oag/ActiveTcl/solaris-sparc.ActiveTcl.8.5.7/bin/teacup

perlapp and pod2usage

I have been reading conflicting reports of whether or not pod2usage can be made to work both from the perl command-line as well as from applications compiled with perlapp.
If it can be made to work, can someone send me a small sample application (the ones that I have seen do not work for me)?
Otherwise, can I get confirmation that this does not function and when this support might be added?

need PAR-Packer for solaris

Hi,
On our linux machines I am using pp and Tkpp binaries from PAR-Packer 0.982 which I got from http://ppm4.activestate.com/i686-linux/5.10/1004/package.xml

Any chance of getting the Par-Packer PPD for solaris on http://ppm4.activestate.com/sun4-solaris-64/5.10/1004/package.xml soon?

thanks!

file attributes -permission command working

Hi
I am facing a problem with the command "file attributes -permission" when the ACL (Access control list) is set for a file /test using the command "setfacl -s user::7,group::0,other:0,group:tester:6,mask:6 /test".
1) According to the command i am trying to set the permission to 700 and allowing the group "tester" to access the file with a permission 6.
2) After setting the permission through ACL, when i check the permission of file through the tclcommand "file attributes /test -permissions" it is giving the permission "00760"

Tcl 8.5 64-bit for Solaris SPARC.

Hi:

I've installed ActiveTcl 8.5 on Solaris SPARC but it's a 32 bit version.
My Tcl needs to load shared (.so) objects using the 'load' command but they are 64 bit. Precisely:

ELF 64-bit MSB dynamic lib SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped

Do I have to use a 64 bit version of Tcl 8.5?
Do you have one?
If not, where can I get one?
Do I have to compile my own?
Any other advice?

Thank you.
Frankie.

Is there a libpython.so for Solaris 10?

Hi,

I installed ActiveState Python for Solaris 10 (SPARC), hoping for a recent version of libpython.so, but it doesn't look like it is part of the installation. Is there shared library support for libpython?

Thanks.

Calling rcp by system call from Perl not working as expected.

Hi,

We are calling rcp (remote copy) using system call via Perl for one file it is working fine for other file in the same subroutine it is not working.

Here are two sample commands:

command1:

system("rcp /xyz/server/pacelog/DATAFILES1/ABC.TXT servera:/dosshare/xyz/Performance/Performance_Returns/");

command2:
system("rcp /xyz/server/pacelog/DATAFILES1/ABC123.TXT servera:/dosshare/xyz/Performance/Performance_Returns/");

Tk PPD for Solaris and Perl 5.10

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is any plan to release a PPM package for the Tk module under Solaris 10?

Building the Tk module is a pain, a binary that can be downloaded via ppm would be really useful.

Expect retruning error

Hi ,
I have written a expect script to change the password for the system. I execute the script from a tcl program. some time i get a error like this " send: spawn id exp6 not open
while executing
"send "rep123""
(file "/opt/test" line 5)"
I dont get this error every time. It occurs rarely.
the expect script is as follows

package require Expect
spawn passwd root
expect "New password:"
send "rep123"
send "\r"
expect "Re-enter new Password:"
send "rep123"
send "\r"

_ctypes not found in ActivePython-2.5.2.2-solaris8-sparc

Hello,

when I try to use ctypes I get the following error:

> /aspy25/bin/python test_ctypes.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_ctypes.py", line 4, in 
    import ctypes.test

  File "/aspy25/lib/python2.5/ctypes/__init__.py", line 10, in 
    from _ctypes import Union, Structure, Array
ImportError: No module named _ctypes

seems that a ctypes .so is not included ActivePython-2.5.2.2-solaris8-sparc
distribution or am I missing something?

Kind regards,
Mueller
