Question

was running the ./configure script for OTP14B03 on OpenSolaris and got the following output

Ignoring the --cache-file argument since it can cause the system to be erroneously configured
Disabling caching
checking build system type... i386-pc-solaris2.11
checking host system type... i386-pc-solaris2.11
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

I have gcc4 installed, in the $PATH, installed libgcc installed, but still getting this error. searching the web got me to try adding /usr/ccs/bin in order to locate the ld.so file (probably got to do with C++ Compiler or linker). Could some one help me out

Answer 1

Your linker cannot find the values-Xa.o object file.

According to this FAQ, it either means your system is missing a package required by the compiler, or that the required packages are installed but your default library path does not reflect it.

As a quick check, you can try adding /usr/ccs/lib to the library path:

./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/ccs/lib"
