The installation on Solaris did not succeed. Here is a part of the error
message:

Updating filename database with mktexlsr...
/soft/texlive/bin/sparc-solaris2.7/mktexlsr: readlink: not found
/soft/texlive/bin/sparc-solaris2.7/mktexlsr: readlink: not found
/soft/texlive/bin/sparc-solaris2.7/mktexlsr: access: not found

Seems that mktexlsr still searches for readlink and access instead of
kpsereadlink and kpseaccess. And, Andreas told me that on his computer,
even kpsereadlink and kpseaccess are missing.

Yours
Harald
