At least for ghci libm.so.2 was needed (only the stage 1 compiler was content with libm.so.1). We had libm.so.2 under Solaris 9. It should be no problem to add a libm.so.2 to Solaris 9. You may need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to its place. (I could send you our libm.so.2 in a separate mail) Indeed linking of the stage2 compiler failed for me under Solaris 8 due to a missing libm.so.2. I somehow managed linking then (by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH or under Solaris 10), I can't remember. But it runs under Solaris 8! (see below) I see that ghc-6.4.1 was content with libm.so.1, though. > Can you please give me the necessary configuration options? I did nothing special. My build.mk (in mk/) says: BIN_DIST=1 Project=Ghc SRC_HC_OPTS += -optc-mcpu=ultrasparc -opta-mcpu=ultrasparc Any linker should do, if it is consistently the first one in the PATH. I think, it even doesn't matter which linker is used by gcc. Maybe you are able to get a libm.so.1 stage2 compiler without Interpreter?
