Thread: Compiling problems with Solaris 8 and PG 7.1
Guys, I'm still having problems compiling postgres under solaris 8 (Sparc HW). The problem is I'm not making it through the config process, here is a snipplet of the config.log files. Can anyone make any sense of this ? ========================================================================================================= -- configure:6849: gcc -o conftest conftest.c -lz -lresolv -lgen -lnsl -lsocket -ldl -lm -lreadline -ltermcap 1>&5 configure: failed program was: #line 6845 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" int main() { return 0; } -- Scott D.

Is this the one where you get the complaint *** Could not execute a simple test program. This may be a problem *** related to locating shared libraries. Check the file 'config.log' *** for the exact reason. If so, the problem is likely that gcc and the linker are searching shared-library directories that are not in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting. regards, tom lane
