This error can occur if the installer is unable to setup the proper environment to perform the installation. To work around the issue, you can force the system to see the libmwins.so file by creating a system link to this library. To do this, run through the following steps:
1. Open a terminal window and change to root.
2. In the terminal run the following commands:
cd /usr/lib/64
ln -s $INSTALL/update/bin/sol64/libmwins.so libmwins.so
(where $INSTALL refers to the location you are running the installer from)
For example, if you are installing from a DVD and the DVD is mounted in /mnt/cdrom, then you would run the command:
ln -s /mnt/cdrom/update/bin/sol64/libmwins.so libmwins.so
3. After creating the link, run the installer again. You should be able to install at this point.
4. Once the installation is complete, remove the link by running the command:
rm /usr/lib/64/libmwins.so
Alternately, if the installation is run without root permissions, you can try creating or updating an environment variable (LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64)
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64}:${INSTALL}/update/bin/sol64
or
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64}:${INSTALL}/update/bin/sol64
(where $INSTALL refers to the location you are running the installer from)
