greetings i think this message was generated due to solaris mixing its binutils with GNU binutils. if i recall correctly if the program is compiled using the SUN ld (/usr/ccs/bin/ld) and then tries to use the GNU strip (probably /usr/local/bin/strip) it causes this error. perhaps try removing the GNU binutils and using the SUN tools only or of course forcing the configuration to use /usr/local/bin/ld?
hope that helped and i didn't just waste everyones' time. cheers scott ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luis Marquez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Subscribers of Qpopper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 03, 2002 12:15 AM Subject: Solaris 9 ELF error > Hello everyone, > > I built qpopper on a sparc 5 solaris 9 system with gcc 2.95.3.
