    Hello!
    I am Solaris 5.10 beginner. For begin acknwledgment this OS I nee one solution. For my first problem which don't allow me begin is for me very difficult and I can't nowhere find resolve. It is going on simple for experienced user thing: I absoolute need and must install StarOffice 8 on my Solaris. In zip archive there are four files: *.jpg, *.bin, *.cue, *toc and nothing more. I try various method to try install Staroffice - xhost+, chmod a+x, ./, sh in random queue just, but one problem is non sotp showed me csnn't execute binary file. I do not know what to do further. thats only one information and solution, which will for me enough.I beg everyone who knows, how install StarOffice 8 on Solaris 5.10, please write me detailed how can I do it. I will be very gracefully and at last I can will begin this OS. This software packet is absolutely for me necessary without it I can't begin.
    Sincerely - Norbert Cielecki.

    Hmm,
    1st.
    Why S10? Why not S11 or OmniOS?
    What hardware, SPARC or x86?
    Why not LibreOffice?

    Where did the SO8 zip file come from?

    Here? https://archive.org/download/sun-staroffice-8

    Did you get the correct zip file (SPARC or x86)?
    The bin file is the executable

    Why are you beginning with a 20 year old OS?

    Do you really need StartOffice 8 or will an equivalent OpenOffice do?

    A Solaris 10 compatible OpenOffice 2.2.1 is still available for download
    from CSW:
    https://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/legacy/i386/5.10/ https://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/legacy/sparc/5.10/

    Follow the instructions on how to use pkg-get or pkgutil: https://cdn.opencsw.org/manual/for-administrators/getting-started.html

    Provided no one tried to update the dependencies the old CSW packages
    should should still work.

    I also have OOo 3.4.1 built and packaged on S10 but for some dependency
    reason it no longer works. I do not need OpenOffice on Solaris 10 so
    have not bothered to find the fault.

    You might need a bunch of patches too.

    I confirm this still runs.

    If I cared I would find why my 3.4.1 started core dumping after working
    for several years. Up-to-date options include LibreOffice on
    OpenIndiana or bhyve (choose your OS) on OmniOS.

    What you have there is not a Solaris install packagerCoitrCOs a CD image dump. The .bin file is the actual image, and the .cue/.toc describe the
    track layout. The .jpg is irrelevant.

    On Solaris 10, you cannot rCLrunrCY those files directly. You must either burn the .bin/.cue to a CD, or convert/mount it as an ISO.

    Simplest options:

    1) On another system (Linux/BSD), convert it:
    bchunk file.bin file.cue output.iso

    2) Transfer the ISO to Solaris, then mount it:
    lofiadm -a output.iso
    mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt

    3) Install StarOffice from the mounted directory.

    If you skip this step, nothing will installrCobecause yourCOre not dealing with extracted software, only a raw disc image.


    PS learn to wrap.

    Very,very thanks for help. I do not know that exists command bchunk on Unix, about cue files I just gorgot that long ago were used to build iso images. From this way my confusion.
    Happy day.
