Hi Vic.
I just want to report that lsof 4.85 does not build on Solaris 11. I spoke with Dagobert Michelsen of OpenCSW and is offering access to their build server if you want to test it yourself. He said it’s due to “cachefs” not being around anymore on Solaris 11.

Dagobert, I opened a ticket on https://www.opencsw.org/mantis, [^] I tried building with GCC, I know you tried something different, so if you have time to add your data here, it might help.

Thanks for your help.

Experimental packages for 4.86A.sun for Solaris 11 Sparc and amd64 are available at
http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/experimental.html#lsof [^]
Please let me know if they work.

Best regards -- Dago

I tested the amd64 build, it was fine.
I didn't run any test on Sparc yet.

hello,
it doesn't work for me (Sun X2200 amd64):
# uname -a
SunOS solqual 5.11 11.0 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
# /opt/csw/bin/lsof
lsof: can't read namelist from /dev/ksyms

is it because i'm logged into a zone?

Indeed, lsof can only be run from the global zone. This is a restriction of the lsof software requiring access to the global kernel tables. It is probably best to disallow installation of the package in the non-global zones.

The official 4.86,REV=2012.08.01 has been pushed for Solaris 9/10/11 to unstable/.
