With R-62.1 on Solaris 2.4, configure says the system has regcomp though I do not know where it is getting that information. The Solaris 2.4 regex and other regular expression functions are not interchangeable with the GNU regex and libraries used by sub() and gsub(). Hence it is necessary to acquire the GNU version and to get it into the load path ahead of the system libraries to load it rather than the Solaris 2.4 version. It needs to go into src/main/Makefile. It seems to me it should be possible to set paths in config.site but I have been unsuccessful in propogating any flags or libs from there. gordon Gordon M.

This kind of thing can sometimes be fudged by using some of the settings somewhat against their nature (maybe LIBS="path.to.it/regex.o -lm -lf2c..."?) but it isn't pretty and it forces you insert stuff that configure would normally figure out for you. I think the correct way of fixing this is to add an XOBJS= line in config.site and propagate it into the link statement in the relevant Makefile. Will think about it and, if I don't come up with any obstacles, implement for next release. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
