Hi All,

When i try to install IDS 9.3 on Sun solaris i get the foll. error
/etc/brand : syntax error at line 1 : '(' unexpected, is this got to do with the hardware configuration or is it platform specific installation. Actually i am trying to install Intell ultra sparc and the actual software is for Sun OS Risk based systems. Where can i get a link to download IDS 9.3, pls. advice.

Regards,

lloyd

Hi,

I think that this problem is then shell. Please set /bin/sh or /bin/ksh.
Then test permission and environment variables: User: Informix, INFORMIXDIR and PATH.

Hi
/etc/brand is a binary!
I can think of 2 possible problems:
1, The binary brand is damaged!
2, Wrong platform or OS version.
I hope his helps
bye

Hi Gustavo / Sandor,

Thanks for your prompt help. Its definetely a different platfrom (hardware) is different. I have IDS 9.3 for Sun Solaris Risk based system & i am trying to install on Intell based platforms. My settings & env variable are correct. Any links where i can download IDS 9.3 for Intel platform. Thanks in advance.
