NetBeans 6.1 on OpenSolaris 2008.05

Open Solaris 05/2008 has an excellent feature of adding packages graphically and netbeans option is also there but I was trying to install it in the same I have done before. Because , NetBeans 6.0.1 will be installed if you execute "pkg install netbeans" or choose netbeans from package manager (IPS GUI) , but I want to install NetBeans 6.1.

During installation , I got some warnings / critical problems regarding Gtk. Those were like :

(:1464): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to add a widget with type GtkButton to a GtkComboBoxEntry (need an instance of GtkEntry or of a subclass)

(:1464): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 3236: assertion `GTK_WIDGET_ANCHORED (widget) || GTK_IS_INVISIBLE (widget)' failed

(:1464): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkstyle.c: line 5879: assertion `style->depth == gdk_drawable_get_depth (window)' failed

(:1464): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkstyle.c: line 5879: assertion `style->depth == gdk_drawable_get_depth (window)' failed

otherwise everything was fine. "MySql" server was bundled with sxde 9/07 but that's not true for open solaris 05/08. so I decided to download and install MySql server. I downloaded "mysql-5.1.24-rc-solaris10-i386.pkg" and tried to install it in my system. I have used "pkgadd" command as root for installation , but at last the following error results :

## Executing postinstall script.
ERROR: 1004 Can't create file '/var/tmp/installCgaqqb/#sql2a8_1_0.frm' (errno: 13)

080603 23:51:00 [Note] /opt/mysql/mysql/bin/mysqld: Shutdown complete


Installation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in
/var/lib/mysql for more information.

and , "/opt/mysql/mysql/bin/mysqld --skip-grant &" results :

080604 0:05:33 [Warning] Can't create test file /opt/mysql/mysql/data/ritwik.lower-test

[1]+ Exit 1 /opt/mysql/mysql/bin/mysqld --skip-grant

I don't know what's the actual reason behind it.... may be the operating system is the reason.. as I was using an installer which is made for solaris 10 and I am using open solaris 05/08.

Anyway , under such circumstances I decided to install the Glassfish - Mysql bundled version of NetBeans IDE 6.1. I did it , got the same "Gtk" error during installation , otherwise everything was normal !!!!

Next : A minor problem while starting MySql server.

If you want to install Mysql in your open solaris 05/08 system , check out "web stack components" from "Open Solaris 05/2008 (part - IV)".
