[GRASS5] Re: Known Solaris 7 issues with beta 11]

[Federico Ponchio]

Hello,
	i installed a CVS Snapshot on solaris.
Heres the problems i encountered, hoping someone can fix them.

1) i had the usual problem in libes/gis/flate.c and the
HAVE_ZLIB_H flag which should be set and its not so that
break compile breaks is. (someone already pointed it out).

2) solaris tar is quite stupid:

	tar cBf - bin/  gives error while
	tar cBf - bin   is ok (yes its the slash at the en the problem

so it wont install unless i do not modify the Makefile accordingly.

3) in Init.sh there are some lines added regarding LD_LIBRARY_PATH
i had to remove them (script failing otherwise).

4) (minor one) configure didn't notice that "ar" was not in my path
and libgis.a could not be created... (ar: command not found) unexperienced
users (not that i feel that experienced) may easily get confused.

5) Im afraid some modules will segment and fault or will take the wrong
bus cause i had no idea if icompiled for 64 or 32 bit.
v.in.shape faulted for example (while on my linux box, on the same file
works correctly (apart from requiring tons of ram.)
Will someone help me?

Hope this was useful.
See you people.
			Federico.
