Nearly ported with g++ on solaris

[Ryan Delano]

I have been trying to build applications using gcc and g++ on Solaris in hopes to discontinue using Workshop 6.2 (now Forte C++).  I have been able to "rebuild" all related components with some difficulty and a few modifications to a few distribution files.  I have completely rebuilt Xerces-C 1.6 and then Xalan-C 1.3 to the point that I can compile and link using gcc and it's ld.  The problem is that I can only successfully execute parser-related actions.  When I try to execute the initialization for Xalan I get a Bus error with a core.  The same is true for the recompiled distributed exe's.   I think it would be really helpful for the Solaris user-base if they could produce applications on GNU compilers and it seem like I'm close.  Can you confirm that anyone has been able to fully rebuild the Xalan-C project or perhaps confirm that I am wasting my time?  I'm not sure what to try next, seeing that my compilation and links are happening without error.   In the event that my effort is successful I have fully documented all the environment settings and modifications which I was intending to share with you at that time.  Please let me know if you have any advice on where I might look to understand and compensate for my Bus error.   Thanks, Ryan Delano Portland, Maine
