Hello,

I am fairly new to Solaris (was on Linux before) but anyway I tried to
install SunStudio 12. Prepare went well but when I ran install script:

../batch_installer -p all --accept-sla

or even GUI installation:

../installer &

there was following report displayed:

Installation failed: insufficient disk space.

Then i did df -kh to check disk space and got output as follows:

Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0d1s0 4,6G 4,4G 98M 98% /
/devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices
ctfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/contract
proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc
mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab
swap 2,2G 692K 2,2G 1% /etc/svc/volatile
objfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/object
/usr/lib/libc/libc_hwcap2.so.1 4,6G 4,4G 98M 98% /lib/libc.so.1
fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd
swap 2,2G 48K 2,2G 1% /tmp
swap 2,2G 24K 2,2G 1% /var/run
/dev/dsk/c0d1s7 33G 1,2G 31G 4% /export/home

So it looks like /export/home is quite big with lot of free space.

Then I tried to redirect installation to /export/home just to test what
report will be now. There was same report again regardless of 31GB of
available space.

So, am I missing something here ?

Any idea would be welcome. Thank you.

Thomas

_How_ did you "redirect installation to /export/home"?

Did you read chapter 2 here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2972 ???

Your /var is on / (smack!).

I suspect there's not enough space for the administrative tasks (e.g.
package database update).

.... 98 % full ...

well, it's obvious, but I'll write it anyway

your / is full, Sun Studio doesn't only install to /opt (or whatever
path you give him), but also puts lot's of things into /var/sadm/pkg (~
1GB on my system)

Where is Studio 12 SUPPOSED to be installed? I would expect that, by
default, it would go in /opt/sunwspro or something like that.
