How to Verify Package Requirements for Signed Patch Tools

Make sure that you have the required Solaris packages installed on your system before you install the signed patch tools. If you are running the Solaris 2.6, 7, or 8 release, you need a minimal system configuration plus some additional packages. If you are running the Solaris 9 release, you must have the Developer cluster (SUNWCprog) installed on your system to use the signed patch tools.

Identify your Solaris release and select one of the following:

If you are running the Solaris 2.6 release, identify whether the required packages are installed on your system:

# pkginfo | grep SUNWmfrun
system      SUNWmfrun      Motif RunTime Kit
# pkginfo | grep SUNWlibC
system      SUNWlibC       Sun Workshop Compilers Bundled libC
# pkginfo | grep SUNWxcu4
system      SUNWxcu4       XCU4 Utilities

If you are running the Solaris 7 or 8 releases, identify whether the required packages are installed on your system:

# pkginfo | grep SUNWmfrm
system      SUNWmfrun      Motif RunTime Kit
# pkginfo | grep SUNWlibC
system      SUNWlibC       Sun Workshop Compilers Bundled libC

If you are running the Solaris 9 release, verify that the required Developer cluster is installed on your system:
# cat /var/sadm/system/admin/CLUSTER CLUSTER=SUNWCprog

If the pkginfo commands do not return any output, you need to install the required packages.
