[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-4603) Installation on Solaris needs additional PATH setting

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4603?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13178207#comment-13178207 ] 

Harsh J commented on HADOOP-4603:
---------------------------------

Hey Allen, if you can +1, we can commit changes similar to Kohsuke's into the trunk to at least have whoami working on Solaris (its a start…).

Let me know if there really is no better way for sure.

> A default installation as outlined in the docs won't start on Solaris 10 x86. The "whoami" utility is in path "/usr/ucb" on Solaris 10, which isn't in the standard PATH environment variable unless the user has added that specifically. The documentation should reflect this.
> Solaris 10 also seemed to throw NPEs if you didn't explicitly set the IP address to bind the servers to. Simply overriding the IP address fixes the problem.
