Thread: Compilation --with-python fails on Solaris 8

Trying to compile 7.1.1 on the system:

g9genarc@eddie:~$ uname -a
SunOS eddie 5.8 Generic_108528-07 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise
g9genarc@eddie:~$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/2.95.2/specs
gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
g9genarc@eddie:~$ python -V
Python 2.1

with the following options to ./configure:

env CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe' ./configure --prefix=/opt/pgsql \
       --with-perl --with-python --with-CXX

the compilation fails while compiling the Python interface with the
following (very long) error message:


Many thanks,

Edit src/Makefile.global and remove -lbind from the LIBS variable.  If
this works, please try to rebuild everything with this new configuration
so we can be sure it doesn't break anything else.

Thanks, that did it.  I thought that the problem was with trying to
link to both bind and resolv libraries.

I confirm that with -lbind removed from LIBS (as above) postgres
compiles successfully with the following configuration:

env CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe' ./configure --prefix=/opt/pgsql \
       --with-perl --with-python --with-CXX

Thanks again,
