Re: [Gems-users] Having trouble getting LogTM running

Isn't the express version the bleeding edge build of Solaris?  That's the impression I got from the Sun webpage.  

Jayaram Bobba told me they used Solaris 8 for the LogTM tests, but I couldn't find a free copy of that on the Sun download site.

is normal.  My best suggestion is to use Solaris Express rather than
Solaris 10, as Express is the version used internally to create the
scripts.
