This is part of the more general and equally annoying problem you face when you pick up a gcc binary and drop it into, say, a Solaris 2.5 box, be it SPARC or Intel. You quickly find that Sun has cleverly moved everything around, and a number of header files seem to be missing. Since they're proprietary, it's unkosher to just lift them from a machine whose owner sprung the US$5k for the Sun compiler. What should you do in such a case? Who out there has a good solution to this? I have to compile Perl 5.003_05 on a Solaris 2.5.1 x86 computer on saturday, and the Perl Configure script bonks when it checks to see if gcc works. It does so precisely because a sys/*.h file is missing. -- Heinz Hemken http://www.cell.cinvestav.mx/hh/bchh.html - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
