Re: java, Swarm, JDK1.2.2, Solaris 8 and static vs shared libraries

[Gary Polhill]

OK... Here's the message I get when trying to configure the HDF5-1.4.2 source:

env CC=gcc ./configure --prefix=/software/hdf5/hdf5-1.2.1 --enable-production

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot

This might confirm your suspicions, but the last few lines of config.log say 
this:

configure:977: gcc -o conftest  solaris -ansi -pedantic -Wchar-subscripts -Wall 
-W -Wshadow -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings

configure:974: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
configure: failed program was:

#line 972 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

main(){return(0);}

I assumed "solaris" was a file that was supposed to appear in the HDF5 source 
tree somewhere, and it was trying to compile this file. Bad assumption I 
guess.... Any ideas how I fix things? Do you need to know how I installed gcc?

Well, it looks like either the C preprocessor isn't working right or
maybe sed.  I'm not inclined to ponder the things that could wrong if
it isn't installed in /opt/SDGgcc/2.95.2.

Also, HDF5 1.4.2 compiled fine for me, so that makes me more suspicious.
