Hi all,

Having issues install the agent on some of our 5.10 solaris boxes:

Do you want to continue with the installation of <SMCtop> [y,n,?] Using </usr/local> as the package base directory.
## Processing package information.
## Processing system information.
   4 package pathnames are already properly installed.
## Verifying disk space requirements.
## Checking for conflicts with packages already installed.

The following files are already installed on the system and are being
used by another package:
  /usr/local/bin <attribute change only>
  /usr/local/man <attribute change only>
  /usr/local/man/man1 <attribute change only>

Do you want to install these conflicting files [y,n,?,q] ## Checking for setuid/setgid programs.

Installation of <SMCtop> partially failed.

Here is the OS and machine info:
SunOS appzone06-dev 5.10 Generic_141444-09 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200

I'm installing the agent from this document:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... _Agent.pdf

Any ideas on what I can try?

I'm confused about how SMCtop relates to our installation?

Can you clarify? Are we missing part of the output?

No, that is the full output I received.

The process of installing our agent doesn't look like the output you posted at all.

The basic process is documented in the source README.

For your convenience I've attached a Solaris patched source tarball. The unpatched source of 2.15 barfs on Solaris. Please untar the file, and follow the instructions in the README.
