Then download stuff from sunfreeware
When you're installing a package that's in package stream format,
(i.e. one big file rather than an exploded package file tree) you
need to invoke 'pkgadd' with the name of the package stream file
as the argument to the -d option, like this:
pkgadd -d lsof-4.77-sol9-sparc-local
The way I was doing it, pkgadd was looking in "." for the package.

Subject: Solaris 9 pkgadd lsof failing
I was trying to install lsof - downloading it from sunfreeware, scped it
over to my server
Unzipped it and tried to install it
bash-2.05$ pkgadd -d . lsof-4.77-sol9-sparc-local
pkgadd: ERROR: You must be "root" for pkgadd to execute properly.
Ok no problem...
bash-2.05$ sudo pkgadd -d . lsof-4.77-sol9-sparc-local
Password:
pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in </home/hallmanj/Sysadmin>
I know its something simple, I've just had one too many late nights and
am not seeing the problem.
Any thoughts on what I am forgetting here?
Thanks
