This is related to glib and it's logging code requiring UTF8 character sets being installed on the system. Instead of using libiconv, it uses the default Solaris installation of iconv. Has been resolved in the past by installing the SUNWuiu8 package on to affected systems.

Yes, we are working on it now. The Agent installer will execute "pkginfo -x SUNWuiu8" to check if UTF8 character sets are installed and to throw an error otherwise.

This fails for me on: Solaris 10 10/08 s10s_u6wos_07b SPARC SunOS XXXXXXX 5.10 Generic_137137-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine When trying to install: mysqlmonitoragent-2.0.4.7141-solaris10-sparc-64bit-installer.bin I get the following error: 2009-02-11 13:43:40: (critical) Conversion from character set '646' to 'UTF-8' is not supported 2009-02-11 13:43:40: (message) Initiating shutdown. 2009-02-11 13:43:40: (critical) shutting down normally

The installer checks the SUNWuiu8 dependency running the following command: "pkginfo -x SUNWuiu8" What is the result of this command in your system? Do you have installed this package? Thanks.

Graham Moore
Many thanks for your response, the requested info is below.
bash-3.00# pkginfo -x SUNWuiu8
SUNWuiu8 Iconv modules for UTF-8 Locale
(sparc) 1.5,REV=2003.05.07.16.18
Looking at it, it looks like a very old version, but I'll wait on your guidance for if you think I should search for a newer version.
Best regards,
Graham

I've come across the very same error, for a different application though and was able to solve it by providing a missing charset.alias file:
# truss -elfda /usr/local/sbin/syslog-ng 2>&1 | grep charset
29850/1: 1.9301 open64("/usr/local/lib/charset.alias", O_RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT
# locate charset.alias
/usr/lib/charset.alias
/usr/lib/sparcv9/charset.alias
# ln -s /usr/lib/charset.alias /usr/local/lib/charset.alias
...now it's working. I dunno where mysqld would search for this file, should the glib package provide this charset.alias file?

A suitable entry had already been added to the 2.0.2 changelog.
