[Aspell-user] Does Aspell Compile and work with Solaris 8?

[Tad Martin]

I have been beating my head against the wall trying to get aspell to 
compile and work properly under Solaris 8 in order to build a couple 
different applications.  I am currently attempting to compile the CVS 
version of aspell, which seems to get past many of the hurdles that I've 
had up to this point. In other words, autogen and configure seemed to 
have run successfully.  Attempting to run make, however, gives me the 
following error(s):

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -O2 -c config.cpp 
-Wp,-MD,.deps/config.TPlo  -fPIC -DPIC
mv -f config.o config.lo
source='posib_err.cpp' object='posib_err.lo' libtool=yes \
depfile='.deps/posib_err.Plo' tmpdepfile='.deps/posib_err.TPlo' \

/bin/bash ../libtool --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.

Below is my current build environment:

Solaris 8
gnu make 3.79.1
gcc 2.95.3
gnu automake 1.7
gnu autoheader 2.54
gnu autoconf 2.54

If more details are needed, please let me know.

Hopefully someone can help me, I would truly appreciate it.

Thanks
