Several folks are having issues with the configure and poll. The default
compiler in the configure script is 'cc', which fails for a lot of
environments, and the configure erroneously determines that poll is not
available (which causes later problems in the compile.)

You may want to try this workaround:
setenv CC gcc
configure <....options>

(You may want to unsetenv CC before running your make, though). I was
able to compile on 2.7 with this workaround.

We are changing the configure script to default to gcc instead (since
this is the 'compiler of choice' for AOLserver)

Hi all,

I just downloaded AS 4.0 beta 1 this week-end to make some tests.
Here are the 2 problems I get with this new version :

1/ Unable to compile under Solaris 2.7 ('uname' says SunOS 5.7). It looks
like the 'configure' command can't get the 'poll' info (I think it's the
same bug as 663846
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=663846&group_id=315
2&atid=103152 )

Changing to -DHAVE_POLL=1, and doing some minor changes (for modules I need
to rename OBJS in MODOBJS in each module Makefile for 'make') I could
compile.
