Re: gEDA-user: Compile under Solaris 9

[Albert Lederer <albertlederer@gmx.de>]

Ales,

I have since rebuilt the machine so it's clean, and installed gcc 
2.95(or whatever comes on the Solaris companion CD) because I was 
getting similar issues from bison, pcb and a few other apps.  This is 
why I don't think it's necessarily a problem with geda per se.  I'm not 
a C programmer, but I can read code and understand the basics. 
This seems to be a Solaris problem because I went on to rebuild the 
machine using Aurora Linux(it's a Linux distro based on Redhat 7.3, but 
for Sparc).  Under this distro make Xinstall returned a "Bus 
Error"(whatever that means), but all the apps, including GEDA compiled 
cleanly. I did this simply because I wanted to know if there's maybe a 
problem with the sparc architecture.  This is not the case. 
Can you tell me what these unresolved symbols might stem from in general 
terms.  It seems odd that several apps are haveing similar issues which 
makes me think it's something to do with the machine rather than geda.

I'll need a few days to reinstall Solaris and all the packages again.  
I'll send you the files as soon as I have them...

Albert

P.S.  At least I have to option to run it under Aurora Linux, which 
isn't too bad.
