Cause and solution

The problem is possibly caused by an incorrect PATH environment variable, which has the search path relating to an X/Open specification, for example XPG4, in the incorrect order.

Consult the Oracle Solaris documentation and support website and ensure that the PATH variable is correctly expressed. Correct any error you find and retry the installation.
