[GRASS5] Configure and Solaris: small problem.

[Andreas Lange]

Hi Frederico,

what a coincidence. I just finished a compile on Solaris 2.7 SPARC right
now.

For your problems:
You should install either the GNU binutils package, which contains IMHO
the library archiver, or create a softlink from /usr/xpg4/bin/ar to
/usr/bin/ar or add /usr/xpg4/bin to your search path.

For the library problems: You will encounter the same problem with other
libraries too (e. g. libtiff, libpng etc.).
You can add /usr/local/lib (where GNU libz is installed by default) to
your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or you may create links to all needed libraries in
/usr/lib. Perhaps some seasoned solaris people can tell us if one can
add the /usr/local/lib directory to a system wide library search path. I
don't know right now.

There are some additional problems with scripts starting with
#!/bin/bash ( i will take care of this ) and g.manual not working
correctly. More on this later.

cu,

Andreas
