For others that might find this message, I wanted to say that I have solved my compilation problem. First, let me apologize for misspelling the libltdl library. It's not 'libtdl' as I wrote in my OP.
Second, it seems that I was able to get as far as I did even though I did not have libtool installed. I guess I expected `./configure` to fail if I did not have it installed! So to compile the package I did: # pkg install libtool $ ./configure && make Note that some Solaris/Oracle docs suggest that you should be adding to following to your ./configure line for FOSS software: CFLAGS="-m64" CXXFLAGS="-m64" Or even set the environment var: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/64/pkgconfig Do not do this! Compilation will break for GNU global. Just let ./configure do its thing the basic way!
