What's your /etc/zones/<zonename>.xml look like? Is it loopback mounted
r/o, or r/w?

Subject: RE: [hobbit] Problem building Hobbit on a Solaris 10 zone -
Summary/Resolution
Hi again,
The various replies set me thinking again.
The non-global zone is indeed a whole root zone. However, the users
home
directory filesystem /export is a loopback filesystem from the global
zone,
so that users in all the zones share a common home directory structure.
I
was building the hobbit kit in a subdirectory of /export/home/user1. I
had
tried running the config/make sequence as both user1 and as root, both
failed as previously described.
As a result of the replies, I tried unpacking the kit in the root
filesystem, in /usr/local. I ran the configure/make sequence as root (I
know, it's not best practice, but I was getting desperate) and it
worked!
I don't fully understand why - I thought hte root filesystem in a
non-global zone was effectively a loopback filesystem similar to my
/export
filesystem, but that's the only difference I can see between this and my
previous efforts.
I now have a problem with the make install, but that looks like a simple
library path issue, so back to trawling the mail archives for me :-)
Thanks again for all the contributions,
Cheers,
John
