Downloaded and installed the Solaris 8 packagewith:
% pkgadd -d splunkforwarder-4.2.3-105575-solaris-8-sparc.pkg
When trying to start it fails with:
% /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk start
/opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.
Here is the machine:
% uname -a

% file /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk

Is this hardware/OS combo just to old, or have the wrong bits ended up in the Solaris 8 package?
