We have tried to make the installation system able to deal with the wide variety of systems that our users are using. Occasionally, there are problems which the installation system doesn't deal with. Here are some common problems and the solutions to them:
| Problem | Solution |
| can't create tmpinstall (or something similar) | the tmpinstall directory is already present from a previous rtrinstall (in which case you can ignore the error message) or you do not have write permission in the current directory. |
| Some packages install fine, others won't | This can be caused by having a ulimit which is set too low. Try setting ``ulimit 1048576''. |
| Some packages install fine, others won't | This can be caused by having insufficient disk space. See Space Considerations (section 2.3). |
| File(s) seem to be missing. | Check RTRinstall.log to see if the file was installed in a place other than where you expected. (See section 2.5). |
 command : not found
ksh: command: not found
command: command not found
|
Check to make sure that the appropriate bin directories have been added to your PATH or use a fully qualified path name (e.g. /usr/local/bin/emacs). |
| Unknown error 0 | Insufficient memory/swap space available. Reduce the number of processes running or increase swap space. |
| Installation system reports:
... : Permission denied |
You do not have the correct permissions to create the files/directories where you asked to have the package to be installed. |
| Solaris tar failures on floppy install | Disable the automount deamon. |
