Installing the Required Solaris OS Patches

Several operating system patches are required for the proper operation of the compilers and tools in the Sun Studio 12 Update 1 release on the Solaris OS. To install the required Solaris OS patches, you can run the install_patches.sh utility that is included in the product download.

If you are running the GUI installer, the System Analysis page informs you if your system does not have the required OS patches. If you are running the multi-language GUI installer, you can run the utility by clicking More info, and then clicking Execute install_patches.sh now. If you are running the English-only GUI installer, you can run the utility from the command line after you have finished installing the Sun Studio software and exited the installer.

If you are running the non-GUI installer, run the install_patches.sh utility after installation to ensure that your system has the required OS patches.

If you have installed the Sun Studio 12 Update 1 software on a server and it is going to be used from client systems, then do the following:

1. On each client system, mount the directory on the server into which you downloaded the package installer.

   mount server:filesystem download_directory

2. On each client system, run the install_patches.sh utility to install the required Solaris OS patches.
