[OmniOS-discuss] SUNW* libraries

[Mariusz Stanczak]

Hello All,

I'm trying to install Nvidia drivers, and I found instructions [https://community.oracle.com/thread/2487788] for creating a boot environment, but when trying to add the driver package I get the following errors:

----

Here the force (Google ;) has failed me, except for clues that things may not be what they seem to.  So, what's the story with those libs.

Thank you,
