install XACT 5.2.1 on Sparc: /cdrom/scripts/check_os.csh: Permission denied.


Record #1142

Product Family: Software

Product Line: M1 Graphical/General

Product Part: Install

Product Version: 5.2

Problem Title:
install XACT 5.2.1 on Sparc: /cdrom/scripts/check_os.csh: Permission denied.


Problem Description:
There IS a bug, in that the file /cdrom/scripts/check_os.csh does NOT have
its executable bit set;


Solution 1:

but there's a test that should protect against that:

if ( -d $cdscripts && -x ${cdscripts}/check_os.csh ) then
   ... do stuff ...
endif

Anyway, it should be OK to continue (by just hitting return.)

Also, there's an alternate install script, /cdrom/cdi.csh

It does not have all the functionality of the graphical
install, but it should work in this environment.
