Re: Can't get TSM client 5.3.2.0 API to install on Solaris system

Thanks to all the suggestions on resolving this issue.

It turned out to be a corrupt download from the IBM FTP site. I
redownloaded it and it now installs completely.

However, I still haven't figured out how we could have unzipped and
untarred a "corrupt" file without errors.

Now comes the next part of this adventure.

If the user goes into the command-line client/prompt (i.e. just enters
DSMC) and then does a QUIT, it core-dumps !   You can do a DSMC
INCREMENTAL just fine.

Any thoughts on this ?

It looks like a bad download/copy. If you downloaded it, try downloading
it again, and check the filesizes between source and target carefully
after the download.
