install -load cannot execute error

40 New Member
Hello,
I'm trying to install ArcInfo 9.2 (GIS software) on an Ultra 40 running Solaris 10 (x86). I am also extremely new to the unix environment. When I get to the correct path and try to run the install -load command from the command line, it brings back an error:
"cannot execute"

I've done some research and most of the problems I've seen have been occurring when users are confused about on which platform they are installing. The instructions that came with the software led me to believe that it was compatible across all unix supported platforms. I still think, however, that something about the OS is preventing me from installing because the command seems to be pretty straight-forward. I'm logged in as root, so I'm fairly certain that I have proper permissions to complete the install.

Any tips/advice/links/help would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time

Sorry for the double-post =\

I also might add that I'm trying to install from a cd/dvd drive. When I look at the permissions, it (of-course) says the files are read only. I still get the same "cannot execute" even when I copy the files to the hard drive and try to execute from that directory.

Thanks in advance.

you probably don't have permissions to execute the script/program. use ls to check the permissions. then use chmod u+x <script name/program name> to change it to executable.

How do I influence the platform type during install? Could you look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong? It's still using information from get_platform instead of using my preference. # python setup.py install --install-purelib=lib.linux=i686-2.3 --install-lib=/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages running install running build running build_py

Can someone remind me how to re-install the Development Center? I was playing with the Environment Settings a bit the other day and, ever since, it hasn't worked right. I can create a new Project but that's all I can do; the File and Edit menus are grayed out and I can't seem to find anything that will re-enable them. I upgraded from DB2 (LUW) Version 7.2 to Version 8.2 (FP7) on Friday and applied Fixpack 8 on Saturday. I'm running...

I have created an application install project that conditionally installs ..NET Frameworks 2.0 if it doesn't already exist on the target system before the app is installed. What I want to do is silently install both my application and Frameworks 2.0. Does someone know the command line parameters to do this? My installation class creates SETUP.EXE, MyApp.MSI, and a folder DOTNETFX with the three files needed to install Frameworks 2.0.

I tried to install SP1, and it appears to have just stopped somewhere part way through. It was "collecting information" (for a long time, slow progress bar) --- then suddenly it stopped.... no indication that either something went wrong, it completed, or still running in the background. I let it sit for another 30 minutes in case it was chugging along with no UI, which I didn't think likely without as cpu usage stayed near zero as did...

My SP1 install seemed to want to keep repeating the install. I spent 4 hours running the install, then it ran again (I got the message up saying it had finished, then it started again). I didn't realise what it was doing until after about 30 minutes, and at that point I thought cancelling might actually undo the original install, so I let it run again (total install time at this point 8 hours!), I got the install finished message and when...

....at least around here. I run a corporate Open Source Software Toolkit, which makes hundreds of libraries and apps available to thousands of technical employees.

Historically, python packages played well in this context. Install was a simple download, untar, setup.py...

Hi, I've been trying for 2 hours to install in silent mode a DB2 9 runtime client. Why didn't you make this process as simple as for the CLIENT install ? It is not the same setup command, you can download a setup from the support site, but unfortunately, the setup does not allow you to create a response file. Neither the db2rspgn utility, after the graphical setup has been done. Very disapointing ... maybe can someone highlight the...
