Hi,

I try to build GNUstep on Solaris 8. When I configure base I get the 
following:

bash-2.03# ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8
checking target system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8
checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8

checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
checking for whoami... /usr/ucb/whoami

checking whether nested functions work... yes
checking the Objective-C runtime... GNU
checking for objc/objc.h... yes
checking for gdomap network details... checking for variable length 
socket addresses... not found
checking whether SO_REUSADDR is broken...
The SO_REUSEADDR socket option for controlling re-use of network
sockets immediately after shutdown appears to be broken on this
machine.  Networking code will be built without using this
feature.
The effect of this lack is that when a network service is shut
down, it cannot be re-started on the same network port until
an operating-system timeout has expired.
For servers other than gdomap, GNUstep does not normally need
a particular network port, so the problem is unlikely to arise.

I don't seem to be able to use your Objective-C compiler to produce
working binaries!  Please check your Objective-C compiler installation.
If you are using gcc-3.x make sure that your compiler's libgcc_s and 
libobjc
can be found by the dynamic linker - usually that requires you to play
with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf.
Please refer to your compiler installation instructions for more help.
configure: error: The Objective-C compiler doesn't work or is not 
installed properly.
bash-2.03#

What is wrong here? I built 3.0.4 (wth objc part) from source. However, 
it seems a library could not be found. How can I fix this? ldconfig does 
not exist on Solaris. I tried

bash-2.03# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
bash-2.03# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
//GNUstep/Libraries/sparc/solaris2.8/gnu-gnu-
gnu://GNUstep/Libraries/sparc/solaris2.8:/opt/GNUstep/Local/Libraries/sparc/
solaris2.8/gnu-gnu-
gnu:/opt/GNUstep/Local/Libraries/sparc/solaris2.8:/opt/GNUstep/Network/Libraries/
sparc/solaris2.8/gnu-gnu-
gnu:/opt/GNUstep/Network/Libraries/sparc/solaris2.8:/opt/GNUstep/System/Libraries/
sparc/solaris2.8/gnu-gnu-
gnu:/opt/GNUstep/System/Libraries/sparc/solaris2.8:/usr/local/lib

and then rerun ./configure but with the same result.

Thanks a lot,

   Andreas
