Some of us are still using Solaris 10 since it is the version of Solaris released and supported by Sun. The ''filebench'' software from SourceForge does not seem to install or work on Solaris 10. The ''pkgadd'' command refuses to recognize the package, even when it is set to Solaris 2.4 mode. I was able to build the software but observation of what ''make install'' does is that it installs into the private home directory of some hard-coded user. The ''make package'' command builds an unusable package similar to the one on SourceForge. Are the filebench maintainers aware of this problem? Will a package which works for Solaris 10 (which some of us are still using) be posted?

Looks like I downloaded it 23-Jan-2008. Regards, Marion

What am I missing?

The package is the actual directory that you unpacked. Note the instructions for unpacking confused me a bit as well. I had expected to "pkgadd -d . filebench", but pkgadd is smart enough to scan the entire "-d" directory for packages. Regards, Marion

It seems that filebench is unconventional in almost every possible way. Installing it based on the available documentation was an exercise in frustration.
