Hi Gerhard, Thank you for your help. I must tell you that I looked at the archives... As I could not find anything really usefull for my issue, I decided to post my message. Anyway, I have found the problem. And I think this might interest other Solaris/perl/rrdtool users. I could not see where the error "./configure: test: unknown operator -B/usr/ccs/bin/" came from. Was it GCC or Perl ? Well in fact it is perl. I took the Perl package from sunfreeware site. This package includes a compiled version of perl 5.8.0. The issue is that it was configured and compiled with the following option : -Dcc='gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/' For a reason that I cannot explain, Configure from rrdtool sources takes that variable and try to pass it to the "test" programm. This one does not recognise the -B argument.
The work around is to get source code of perl, configure and compile it without the parameter (-B) : sh Configure -Dcc='gcc' Becarefull : During perl configuration questions, you will have to make sure gcc -B/a/path/ does not show up. It did in mine... In such case, just replace with 'gcc'. Once perl is compiled and installed, we can configure/compile/install rrdtool. To make this complete, here is my env variables : echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib echo $PATH /usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin Regards. -----Message d'origine----- De: Gerhard Ecaroh Froehlich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: September 2, 2002 4:18 AM À: Boismartel, Jerome Cc: '[email protected]' Objet: Re: [rrd-users] rrdtool-1.0.39 on Solaris 6 : configure error Hi Jerome, "Boismartel, Jerome" wrote: > > Hello, > > When I run sh configure on my system I have the following error : > checking for the C compiler perl wants to use to build its modules... > ./configure: test: unknown operator -B/usr/ccs/bin/ > > I run Solaris 6 and perl 5.8.0 > > Does anyone run into this issue ? What was the solution ? One solution is to read the archives. The question was asked multiple only weeks ago. In short: Install all GNU Tools and GCC, including correct settings of $PATH. This should help, cause Solaris don't compile that good. > =------------------------------------------------------------= > Jerome Boismartel Ecaroh -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
