Hi, I have a clean solaris 8 installed. I pkgadd the make and gcc on it, but every time i tried to compile source code i got erros, for example apache , when i do a #./configure -->everything is okay #make --> gives me bunch of errors===> src ===> src/os/unix src/ap gcc -c -I../os/unix -I../include -DSOLARIS2=280 -DUSE_EXPAT -I../lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED `../apaci` ap_snprintf.c /usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccy8hYLb.s", line 3318: error: unknown opcode ".subsection" /usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccy8hYLb.s", line 3318: error: statement syntax /usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccy8hYLb.s", line 3442: error: unknown opcode ".previous" /usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp/ccy8hYLb.s", line 3442: error: statement syntax *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `ap_snprintf.o' Current working directory /usr/local/src/apache_1.3.22/src/ap *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `subdirs' Current working directory /usr/local/src/apache_1.3.22/src *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `build-std' Current working directory /usr/local/src/apache_1.3.22 *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `build' not only compiling apache, but other as well, is there anything i need to do or configure for compiling? thanks

This is a long shot and probably not the answer, but you may have to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.... eg: for csh setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib or wherever else you have libs... I'm sorry if this doesn't help, but a try is better than nothing at all. Also what version of gcc do you have?

Also with the programs you're compiling - did you see if they need anything else? a lot of the time just gcc isn't enough, you need things like zlib and son on.... HTH

This SAME exact problem was bugging me all day. Here's the trick: * no binutils package (/usr/ccs/bin should be in your PATH) * gcc version 2.95.x!!!! you probably have 3.0.x. Once I backleveled, I was fine.

Thanks Chris! I had the same problem (on Solaris 2.8)... I pkgrm'd gcc 3.0.3 and pkgadd'd gcc 2.95.3 (and already had /usr/ccs/bin in my PATH)... and PRESTO! Problem gone!

For the people that want to use the newer gcc, all you have to do is find where the binutils are for your version of gcc eg: gcc 3.1 binutils are in /usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/bin make sure this path is before the /usr/ccs/bin and everything works fine. Hint: works if you want SASL compiled in with sendmail using DB3.2 as DB3.2 requires gcc >3
