I would have written down the exact message, but I fgured
the problem would have been repeatable so I never. I did
do a google search on the actual sm_some_method(), but only
got 1 hit, and it was same problem I had, with no reply.

Hmm, that it what I suspect. But what I am interested in in why, and
how to fix the installation.

The install for S1S8 asks me if I wanted to connect to the FD6U2 IDE.
According to Sun it is supported, atleast once you are a paying customer.
As for Sun ONE Studio, I would rather use the CLI for debugging. The
Ultra 10 400 MHz I am working with REALLY chugs under the Swing based
IDE. I also feel that ONE Studio in more geared towards Java developers.
  I currently use Workshop 5, and like the style, and how quick it
starts up, and uses 1/8th the memory of Sun ONE Studio. That is why I
would really like to demo the Workshop 6 AKA Forte 6 IDE.

The install for FD6u2 prompts for a license file which I gave it.
The S1S8 install asks for a key, or you have the option of pressing
60 day demo.

BTW - I noticed after I uninstalled bother FD6U2 and S1S8, that pkginfo
still showed a number of SPRO* packages, installed. So I did a pkgrm on
SPRO*. Before trying the reinstall, but this still did not help.
