Compile error Solaris 2.7 gcc2.8.1 Netscape Server

[Anon]

The configure went fine
./configure --with-nsapi=/usr/netscape/suitespot

then the make stopped rather quickly.

I've got flex-2.5.4a and bison-1.28 installed from gnu
--any help is appreciated

Do you have ar in your path?

gcc itself knows that ar is in /usr/ccs/bin, but libtool might not...

That fixed it:(LD_LIBRARY_PATH). I'm a little rusty and this is a new box. Thanks for the help.

What exactly did you do to fix the problem? I have been having trouble with php on solaris 2.7 also, but I am configuring it with apache instead. The problem I am having is that the make will hang, it will do nothing after a certain point.

added /usr/ccs/bin to the $PATH so the compiler or my shell could find 'ar',
then I had another problem with the compiler finding '-llibstdc++' or something of that sort and added /usr/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH

both of these variables were in my .cshrc file, did a 'make clean' and then 'make'
