I downloaded Sun Studio 11 from the Sun website
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/

I had to install rpm for the installer to work
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=855&threadID=5102562

apt-get install rpm
ln -s /usr/bin/rpm /bin/rpm

However, I still have a problem with the Java SDK

error: Failed dependencies:
glibc >= 2.1.2-11 is needed by j2sdk-1.4.2_08-fcs.i586
sh-utils >= 2.0-1 is needed by j2sdk-1.4.2_08-fcs.i586
fileutils >= 4.0-8 is needed by j2sdk-1.4.2_08-fcs.i586
gawk >= 3.0.4-1 is needed by j2sdk-1.4.2_08-fcs.i586
textutils >= 2.0-2 is needed by j2sdk-1.4.2_08-fcs.i586
/bin/sh is needed by j2sdk-1.4.2_08-fcs.i586

Anyone got Sun Studio working properly on Ubuntu?
Any idea how I could resolve these dependencies?

Have you installed Java?

I installed Java with Automatix.
I don't think that it is the correct version though. (hence the failed dependencies)

I didnt try to setup SunStudio in Ubuntu, but i did get Netbeans to work. I use SunStudio in M$ but its different to Netbeans as Netbeans comes with FREE DESIGN as default.

When I go to the Sun site, SunStudio is only available for Solaris and Linux.
Are you sure that you use in Windows?
Do you have a download link?

If it's a RPM package, did you try installing with alien command? Or linking /bin/rpm to /usr/bin/alien

i'm still having problems here. i managed to install sunstudio by going to the .kits/ide/packages directory and running alien on everything there and then dpkg -i *.deb (if you search for sunstudio, you'll find these instructions elsewhere too).

the trouble is, i've installed the newest java version (java6) and sunstudio specifically doesn't look for it when working out which jdk to use, and instead ends up trying to use gcj. hopefully with the open-sourcing of java, these small inconveniences will soon be a thing of the past.

i'll have a go at rewriting the script sunstudio uses to find the jdk and, if it works, i'll post the result

(of course i could always just install the jdk1.4.2 and let it use that)

I managed to get the (more recent) express edition to work. Perhaps that one brings you more luck ?
