Hi All<br />
<br />
I have a question about pkgadd. I have a few packages that were created on Soalris 8 platform and I have to spool them on a HP-UX 11.0 platform (dont need to install them - spoolong with be OK). I ftped the files and uncompressed them and put them in a directory called src. Then I created a new directory called output where I want the spooled info to go. <br />
<br />
Then from the src directory when I run<br />
<br />
$&gt; pkgadd -d /home/mylogin/src/pkg1 -s /home/mylogin/output <br />
<br />
I get the following error<br />
<br />
Out of phase--get help<br />
Perhaps the &quot;-c&quot; option shouldn't be used<br />
pkgadd: ERROR: attempt to process datastream failed<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; - process &lt;cpio -icdum &gt;&nbsp;failed, exit code 2<br />
<br />
I am not sure where I am going wrong.<br />
<br />
Any ideas are highly appreciated<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

pkgadd - in HP-UX 11.0

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
