I try to install sed3.0 on Sparc1000-E server running Solaris2.4.

I have gcc-2.7.2 compiled under Solaris2.4
make-3.74 compiled under Solaris2.4

When I run configure on a station running Solaris2.4, bcopy is not found and
an error during dynamic linking occurs: bzero symbol undefined.

When I run configure on a station running Solaris2.5, bcopy is found and I have
no problems compiling sed.

The variables PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are identical in both cases.

Can someone help me solve this problem?

Thanks

Don't use LD_LIBRARY_PATH, especially if it has /usr/ucblib in it. GNU
Configure will figure out what you have, and what you don't have. Solaris
2.4 has bcopy in the BSD compatibility libs, but Solaris 2.5 has
re-implemented it and placed it in the system's libc.

Seds config is busted then, or is it using a chaced 2.5 config?

2.4 doesn't have bzero in libc
compiler under 2.4 if you need to run under 2.4 & 2.5.

This is normal as 2.5 adds a number of functions to libc.

Quote:>The variables PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are identical in both cases.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH should be unset.
