I'm trying to install the above patch as a pre-requisite to installing oracle on my solaris 10 but got the above error. pls can someone ditrect me on where i can get the package SPROcc indicated as above.
"unpack-patches" only runs after an "setup-standard.sh" from EIS-DVD. also won't this command install signed patches (afaik).
his problem wasn't the installation of the patch. the application he tried to patch is not installed...
yes I wanted to check if the EIS dvd has been used.
but about the application, sometimes when i add a patch for a package that's not there, some error code return (error code 8), but the message he got is different.
how can we know if the application we're trying to patch is not there ?
I tried installing the above when i discovered that i need to install another required patch and this gave me the error as shown below
# patchadd ./118682-01

i recommend a knew solaris installation. use the install cluster "sunwcxall" and after that download and install the latest patchcluster. don't forget to choose all needed languages during installation.
Thanks pls is there no other way round this prob. other than a new installation
when i was installing this os i chose the option "Entire Solaris Software Group Plus OEM Support" so i believe this should have taken care of the above prob.
I did just what you said and i got the same error as below

I had suspicions because sometimes when I try to patch a package that's not installed sometimes I get a different message, that's why I wanted to confirm, but looks like he has to re-install
RE-installing is like a pain, if i will have to do this. pls can you tell me step by step on how to do the above so that i will not go into the same error again.
the patch you are trying to install is a "sun studio patch". i don't understand why you are trying to install a patch to a package that is NOT installed... you will face the same problem again and again and again unless you install the package. and this is an realy old package/patch (studio 10). sun studio 12 is the latest release...
Sorry to bother you, i think i am lacking unserstanding here. i need to install this patch because it is a pre-quisite to install oracle. pls see section 2.3 of Preinstallation Tasks
once i install sun studio 12 are you saying that i will not need this package again.
