I ordered the trial CD, and have tried (unsuccessfully) to install it on my SPARC 2 (16 MB RAM) running Solaris 2.3. When I install, it successfully writes files to my hard drive, but during the verification phase, I'm given an error: The verification of the [insert package name here] Package cannot continue. The Installer detected a check sum error in the file shown below. [insert file name here]. What does this error mean, and is there a workaround?
This error might occur if you've changed your "sum" file. The installer runs a check sum using /bin/sum -r. If "sum" returns something the Installer doesn't expect, then you would get the error you're seeing.
