install.bin ! not found

[schinta]

Hi ,

I have a installer bundled with vm for a solaris sparc machine,
as soon i start the installer process, ./install.bin - f
I have a console message "./install.bin not found" , but the subsequent message
indicates that installer is unpacking jre, and storing in /tmp directory,
even the installation is successful.
but i did not quite understand why the message "./install.bin not found"
occured.

in the IA project settings configuration states to use a jvm 1.4+.
in my sparc solaris machine, i have java version 1.5
I am using IA 2009 Enterprise edition. :confused:

From your post, it looks like there is a space between - and f, it should have been

./install.bin -f 

[schinta]

Hi vlad,

while posting the message i accidentally added the space, on a sparc solaris
I am not putting any spaces, the properties from the file are being picked up
by IA
properly.

Try launching the installer like this:

sh -x ./install.bin -f installer.properties

and see what exactly produces the error message you mentioned!

Hi ,

Is the script trying to find the value of any expression ???

Well, it looks like the self-extractor code (that is nothing but a shell script) has a quirk on Solaris (most likely it's the Solaris that's not behaving like the rest of the Unices 🙂 so it's something in the calculation of the available disk space returns the escape character...

I've taken a look into the IA 2009 installation folder, in the resource/self_extractors/unix/use.sh file. There is this test:

if ! isValidNumber "$AVAIL_SPACE"; then
	echo "DF output not POSIX standard" 

	AVAIL_SPACE=`$DF_CMD . 2>/dev/null | awk -F: '{ print $2 }' | awk '{ print $1 }' | tail $TAILN1ARG`

	if ! isValidNumber "$AVAIL_SPACE"; then
		unset $AVAIL_SPACE
	fi 
fi

If I'm not mistaken, the test should have read

[CODE]if [! isValidNumber "$AVAIL_SPACE"] then[/CODE]

while /bin/sh tolerates the missing [ ] on most unices (as nowadays /bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash on Linuxes, this might not be the case on Solaris.

What you may want to try, is to make a backup of the file, and try to correct the above, then to rebuild the installer and see if the error goes away. Be aware that modifying that file will affect all your future installers AND that Flexera Software does not support or encourage user modifications of the file (but if that fixes your issue you may want to point out a bug in their script and they might fix it for future versions (the issue seems to be present in IA 2010 too!)

This won't work. [ is a program ('man test' if you're interested). [! is not a program. You'll just get a "[!: command not found". Try this pattern.
[CODE]
isValidNumber "$AVAIL_SPACE"
if [ $? -ne 0 ] # the space after [ is very important
doThings
fi
[/CODE]

$? holds the exit status of the last command in the pipe. In this case that's the return value of the isValidNumber function. If $? is not equal to 0, then perform the instructions inside the if.

I am also face the same problem on solaris:

install.bin ! not found

but, I am not able to resolve this till now. I think this is not an issue of script related.

[pv7721]

You will need to give a little more information about your issue: on what platform does this happen? What's the exact error message?

[pv7721]

It seems that this issue has just been fixed in the first Service Pack for IA 2010:
http://www.flexerasoftware.com/webdocuments/PDF/IA2010_ReleaseNotes.pdf

IOA-000050487 When launching an installer on Solaris 10, the following error message was written to the console: !: not found. This issue has been addressed, and installers now launch properly on Solaris 10.
