Richard & David, Good point that it's using gcc, I didn't catch that. I do have the sun compiler installed, with /opt/SUNWspro/bin at the top of my PATH so I was going on the assumption that it would use CC rather than gcc. I tried to add a CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/CC to my gmake, but that created other problems that I suspect are a result of ./configure detecting gcc, and I'm not sure how to make configure see the correct compilers. In any case, it's the end of the day on friday, and this isn't anything that can't sit over the weekend. :) I appreciate the input, I'll take this to the dev list if I can't tackle it with a fresh mind on monday. <div>On 9/28/07, David Boreham <<a href="mailto:david_list@boreham.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">david_list@boreham.org </a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Jason wrote: > Is there a way to get past this problem?

Not crazy, but pretty darned close ;) A couple of things come to mind : the code may have rotted for Solaris 8 --- that's quite an old release. The build was always done (and the wiki page you reference confirms this) with the Sun compiler, not gcc. -- Fedora-directory-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> Fedora-directory-users@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-directory-users </a> </blockquote></div>
