There are two lines in install-kolab.sh which read:
PLATTAG=`sh "$INSTALL" -t | tar xf - -O shtool | sh -s platform --type=binary`-$TAG

Please change both of them to
PLATTAG="sparc64-solaris10-kolab"

And installation should work fine for you.


install-kolab.sh uses "tar xf - -O shtool" to extract shtool to
stdout and immediately run it, but this doesn't work with Solaris'
version of tar. A work around for the script could be to extrace
shtool to a temporary location and run it from there.
