RE: [coreutils] coredump segmentation fault using coreutils 6.4 sparc solaris using mv or touch

[Howell Hughes]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the info. I did the following and am still requiring some support

I downloaded

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.gz.sig

gpg --verify coreutils-8.7.tar.gz.sig &&
I don't have gpg on my node. Do I have to install another package to install 
this?
Also if I ever run && on my node it just returns a prompt like this
>
I don't know if it is relevant for solaris or if it's a linux thing, or maybe 
again I just don't have a certain package installed?

  gzip -dc coreutils-8.7.tar.gz | tar xf - &&

  (cd coreutils-8.7 && ./configure && make && make -k check ) >& log
I ran ./configure; make; make -k check > log

Nothing was written to the log file but config.log file was written and is 
attached to this email. It seems I don't have everything required to create the 
package, from the config.log "configure:4449: error: no acceptable C compiler 
found in $PATH".

Can you advise what else is required to in order to run the configure correctly?

Best Regards


Howell Hughes

In that case, I suggest you download coreutils sources and build your own 
binaries, since the ones you downloaded obviously don't work properly.

If you have the xz program (from the xz-utils package), do this:

wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.xz
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.xz.sig
gpg --verify coreutils-8.7.tar.xz.sig &&
  xz -dc coreutils-8.7.tar.xz | tar xf - &&
  (cd coreutils-8.7 && ./configure && make && make -k check ) >& log

Otherwise, do this:

wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.gz
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.gz.sig
gpg --verify coreutils-8.7.tar.gz.sig &&
  gzip -dc coreutils-8.7.tar.gz | tar xf - &&
  (cd coreutils-8.7 && ./configure && make && make -k check ) >& log

config.log
