Installing curl on Solaris 10

[KNS Information Services]

I have just downloaded curl-7.16.4_Sol10-x86-local.gz to /var/tmp on my Solaris 10 server.

How do I install?

Thank you, BK

I take it that's a package from sunfreeware.com? If so, then you're better off
searching for that info on their site or help forums.

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1985/6mhm8o60l?a=view

=> How to Add Software Packages (pkgadd)

maybe this way:

---
gunzip curl-7.16.4_Sol10-x86-local.gz

pkgadd -d curl-7.16.4_Sol10-x86-local
or
pkgadd -d . curl-7.16.4_Sol10-x86-local
---
maybe the manpage for pkgadd will help.

Do you know this links:

Thank you. Curl is now successfuly installed but when I enter the following command (as per the man pages) I get the following:


curl --interface eth0:1 http://www.netscape.com/
ld.so.1: curl: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

That's because your run-time linker doesn't find the libssl.so.0.9.8 when you
invoke curl. You can most probably fix that by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
similar before you run curl.

This isn't strictly an issue with curl...

Yes, and that's the reason why I'am not sure that the OP knows how UNIX
works :-/
