I'm no professional when it comes to compiling, but I normally set PKG_CONFIG_PATH by hand with "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig" (do set your proper paths), as well as LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib. I have also set the system library paths with crle, but it seems that they are often not seen by configure scripts. Are you using the Solaris Studio compiler or gcc? If gcc, is it the one from sfe or the one from openindiana.org?
Hope some of this helps, Bryan On May 1, 2012 12:09 AM, "Robbie Crash" <sardonic.smi...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm trying to compile Mosh ( http://mosh.mit.edu/ ) for OI, but I'm > running > into problems with ncurses while running configure.
