Re: [Axiom-developer] Problem with patch 23 and Solaris 9 identified

Tim,

I'm not sure I follow what you're saying here.  Perhaps I didn't make
myself clear in my last mail?

The postprop.o file *does* exist, it is in obj/sol9gcc/interp/postprop.o.
So rather than messing with any Makefiles, I just copied it to 
mnt/sol9gcc/autoload/.

The result is that the build has been progressing now for quite a while.  I 
have more
than 900 .o files in mnt/sol9gcc/algebra, and it's still going.

Am I missing something?

                                        Kostas
