Last week, I set up the Bazaar version control system on Solaris 9. I installed the following packages:

• python-2.5.1
• pycrypto-2.0.1
• paramiko-1.7.1
• bzr-0.90

I got the Python package from the Sun Freeware site, and installed it using pkgadd. The two python modules - pycrypto and paramiko - were installed using these commands:

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Bazaar, being written in python, was also installed using the setup.py script. I discovered a small problem when building Bazaar on Solaris 9: _dirstate_helpers_c.h attempts to #include stdint.h, which doesn't exist and results in a "No such file or directory" error. To get around this problem, I changed that line to include <sys/types.h> instead. Building Bazaar after that went smoothly.

When using Bazaar on Solaris 9, make sure that /usr/local/lib is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I installed Solaris 10 6/06 on an UltraSPARC yesterday, with the default settings, and today I did a quick port scan to see what wasn't firewalled...

Shocking.

I'll be keeping the Sun boxes behind a firewall then.
