Backup Exec v12

[Johnson, James]

Does anyone have any experience installing the backup exec agent (BEWS_12.1364_LINUX-UNIX-MAC_AGENTS.tar.gz) on Freebsd 7.

I've been trying for the past few days with no progress. I called for support, but guess what Symantec does not support Freebsd.


# ./installralus
Not Supported Yet.
./installralus: ./perl//bin/perl: not found

Two things here:

1. Not support Yet.
But I'm sure although not support, there has to be a way to still install it.

2. 


vmFreebsd# find / -name perl
/usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/bin/perl

And Perl -v shows the version, so I know it's there. I just need to change the path were the installer is looking of perl, right?

Here is the content is installralus:


vmFreebsd# vi installralus
