Re: configure-error...

Jean,

Do a "man nm" and you'll see what it is:

...

DESCRIPTION
     The nm command displays the symbol table of each ELF  object
     file that is specified by file.
...

It should be located in /usr/ccs/bin (or /usr/xpg4/bin) and configure
looks for it during it's tests.  Are you getting this error during the
"configure" run? If so, you might need to make sure /usr/ccs/bin is in
your environment PATH. If that's not the problem, make sure nm is in one
of those two directories.  If not, whoever installed Solaris 2.6 probably
chose the End-User option, which does not include many necessary utilities
for program development. In that case, you'll need to install those from
the OS cd-rom first.  

Regards,

Chris
