Hello,
I'm having some trouble getting the configure script to run. It keeps stopping and saying that zlib >= 1.0.9 required even though I have 1.2.1. This information is from config.log. Can someone tell me what the problem is?
Thanks.

    Hi,

    which version of the Solaris linker is installed on your system ?
    You might need to upgrade to the latest linker version, seems to be a bug.

    Edit: sorry, i didn't mean the linker but the assembler

      Another question:

      Which gnu tools and other libraries did you install (available at e.g. www.sunfreeware.com or the ones on the companion cd)

      Thomas

        Recently I ugrade by gcc compiler to 3.4.1. I used package available. Is there something else I should upgrade to take care of that problem?

          What do you get if you execute

          ld --version
          and
          as --version

          Which version of the binutils did you install ?

          Thomas

            My ld is 5.7-1.278 and the assembler is
            Alpha 3/27/98 build. The other tools were the preinstalled software of Solaris 5.7

              Ok,

              either upgrade to the final 5.0 version of the assembler or install the latest binutils available at www.sunfreeware.com and use the gnu ld and gnu as that come with the binutils.

              Thomas

                No ... installing binutils doesn't make sense since gcc 3.4.1 has been compiled to use the Solaris linker and assembler. You would have to recompile gcc to use gnu ld/as.
