In order to compile tetex beta 20000305, I configure using the following options on a "SunOS goedel 5.6 Generic_105181-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10" machine, using gcc 2.95.2 and Sun ld/as. I have compiled newer versions of libpng and libz, so I want to use them instead: ./configure --prefix=/app/unido-i02/sun4_56/tetex/20000305 \ --x-includes=/usr/openwin/include --x-libraries=/usr/openwin/lib \ --with-x --with-x-toolkit=yes --with-etex=tex --enable-ipc \ --with-epsfwin --with-mftalkwin --with-ps=dps --enable-a4 \ --with-pnglib-libdir=/app/unido-inf/sun4_56/libpng/1.0.6/lib \ --with-pnglib-include=/app/unido-inf/sun4_56/libpng/1.0.6/include \ --with-zlib-libdir=/app/unido-inf/sun4_56/libz/1.1.3/lib \ --with-zlib-include=/app/unido-inf/sun4_56/libz/1.1.3/include \ --with-system-pnglib --with-system-zlib configure complains it will not find these system libraries. Maybe this is because configure "forgets" to specify the "-R$LIBDIRS" switch when test-compiling. But now the configuration process seems to distribute into partial use of some libtool configuration phases, which I do yet less understand, and patching the configure script always drives me mad. What is wrong? Karsten -- Karsten Tinnefeld [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fachbereich Informatik, Lehrstuhl 2 T +49 231 755-4737 Universität Dortmund, D-44221 Dortmund, Deutschland F +49 231 755-2047
