I'm having a dickens of a time installing Solaris Studio 12.2 on Ubuntu 10.04. I found this guide, however using the alien option isn't finding the correct files. I'm not exactly sure on the syntax of alien, its kinda alien to me. (sorry for the bad pun) Also, when I download the tar file, and extract it, there are errors everytime saying things like:

"operation not permitted"

cannot creat symlink to '../prod/bin/cc': Operation not permitted

I've extracted with super user access, but to no avail. Any success from anyone else?
