[Mailman-Users] Problem installing on Solaris 8
I'm trying to install Mailman 2.1.6 on a Solaris 8 machine. There seems to be a rather strange error and I'm not sure if it's a misconfiguration of my machine or a problem with Mailman. I had no problem with 'configure' or with 'make'. I *did* use gcc -- there is a cc binary on the system, but the Sun compiler is *not* present, and this was no problem during the compile phase. However, when I got to 'make install' it seems there is a problem. The install process seems to want to call cc, even though it was not specified or used in either 'configure' or 'make'. Here is the error I get: 8---start-- (cd ./$p ; umask 02 ; PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/mailman/pythonlib /opt/csw/bin/python setup.py --quiet install --install-lib /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib --install-purelib /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib --install-data /usr/local/mailman/pythonlib); \ done /opt/csw/lib/python2.3/distutils/dist.py:213: UserWarning: 'licence' distribution option is deprecated; use 'license' warnings.warn(msg) /usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1 *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `install-packages' Current working directory /export/home/users/steve/mailman-2.1.6/misc *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `doinstall' 8stop--- The error message from cc is the message that you get because the Sun compiler is not installed.

Try export CC='gcc' or CC='/path/to/gcc' then clean and re-run configure Or clean and run configure CC='/path/to/gcc' Or even both. Watch out for ar as well, I've had that do the same thing on Solaris 8. I usually add CC='/opt/sfw/bin/gcc' and AR='/opt/sfw/bin/gcc' to all my configure's and make's -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
