[Aspell-user] Help! Common problem compiling aspell 0.50.3 on Solaris 9 with g++

[Chris LaDuke]

All,

When scouring the web for the past few hours, I have seen this question a
number of times but never any definitive answers.  I have tried building
the package on two different machines with similar configurations.

when I type ./configure I get the following error:

checking whether the C++ compiler works... configure: error: cannot run
C++ compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.

output from configure.log says: configure:2158: ./a.out
ld.so.1: ./a.out: fatal: libstdc++.so.5: open failed: No such file or
directory

Output from echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH: /usr/local/lib

If I attempt ./configure --host=sparc-sun-solaris2.9 it seems to configure
ok, however when I run make I get the error

./mk-dirs_h /usr/local DICT_DIR /usr/local/lib/aspell  >> dirs.h
ld.so.1: ./mk-dirs_h: fatal: libstdc++.so.5: open failed: No such file or
directory

Environment notes below:

g++ -v = Reading specs from
/usr/local/gcc-3.2.1/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.2.1/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.2.1/configure --host=sparc-sun-solaris2.9
--prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.2.1 --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.1

I am running gnu make

Running Solaris 2.9


so I'm stuck.  If anyone knows anything about this, Id appreciate the help!
