java.io.IOException in Installshied for client SDK
Tony got java.io.IOException: Not enough space installing Client SDK 3.5 on Solaris 10, plus an insufficient-space warning for INFORMIXDIR despite 93G free. Art Kagel suspected the TMPDIR filesystem was filling. Changing TMPDIR and -tempdir did not help. Tony fixed it by using the Java bundled in the tar package instead of the system Java.

I am getting the following error on installing 3.5 client SDK On Solaris 10 Initializing InstallShield Wizard........ Launching InstallShield Wizard........ java.io.IOException: Not enough space at java.lang.UNIXProcess.forkAndExec(Native Method) at java.lang.UNIXProcess.<init>(UNIXProcess.java:53) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(ProcessImpl.java:65) at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:451) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:591) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:464) If I ignore the error (the script seems to carry on running) I then get WARNING: /app/dnyoptxm01/informix has insufficient space to install the items selected. 140.2 MB additional space would be needed to install the selected items. ---------------------------------- However both errors appear bogus as there are very few processes running on the server and there is 93G free on the filesystem. Very strange! Any insights through the ether?
Probably the TMPDIR filesystem is filling and the error message specifying INFORMIXDIR as the FS that's filling up is bogus. Art Art S.

Hi Art, Thanks. I have tried modifying TMPDIR and -tempdir so far without success but it has got me looking at the install script for clues. Regards, Tony
This problem was fixed by installing the Java that came as part of the tar package. This was interesting in that this Java was 1.49 and the failing version was later (1.50)
