[tex-live] install fails on solaris x64 & i386

[Brent Kearney]

Hello,

I have an AMD 64 server running Solaris 10 (from Sun). The binaries included with the installer don't work on my system - output below. If I run without -force-platform it choses i386-solaris, which should work. It produces the same results with regards to the htonll symbol in xv, however.

I tried removing the included tlpkg/installer/xz/xzdec.x86_64-solaris binary and adding a symlink to a local, working version of xz, but that results in this:

Any suggestions?
