Solaris problem

[Fabio Rinaldi <ri...@ifi.unizh.ch>]

Dear all,

first of all, apologies if this question has already been asked
before. I am completely new to Forrest and to this list.

I have downloaded Forrest 0.5.1 and installed it on our machines
(running Solaris). When I tested it with 'forrest seed' and 'forrest
site', the latter stop with the following error message:

------------------------------------------------------------
* [0]   2.994s 766b    favicon.ico
* [0]   1.698s 0b      index.html
X [0]                       index.html  BROKEN: URI not found
Total time: 0 minutes 16 seconds

BUILD FAILED
/opt/apache/forrest/forrest.build.xml:631: Java returned: 1
------------------------------------------------------------

Various attempts to track down the problem have failed. The only
workaround that I have found is to place a "index.html" file in
"src/documentation/content/". This prevents the problem, but then the
generated site contains only "index.html", "test1.html" and
"test2.html".

Later I have repeated the installation on my linux laptop (using
exactly the same package), and it works just fine: I get the 'initial'
web site that I was expecting.

Has this problem been reported before? I could not find it in the FAQ
(but I had only a quick look). Can anyone help?

Best,

Note: Be aware that we are close to releasing 0.6 and i suggest
that you only experiment with 0.5.1

This pathname is strange because there is no such file at
the top-level of forrest-0.5.1

Are you sure that you have the enviroment variables PATH and
FORREST_HOME set properly?
