I get the following error when I try to build xapian on a solaris (8) machine. (gcc version is 3.4.0). Any ideas? Thanks Salem bash-2.03# make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/xapian-core-0.9.2' Making all in include make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/xapian-core-0.9.2/include' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/xapian-core-0.9.2/include' Making all in getopt make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/xapian-core-0.9.2/getopt' /bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++ -Wall -W -Wredundant-decls -Wundef -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wno-multichar -Wno-long-long -fno-gnu-keywords -g -O2 -o libgetopt.la getopt.lo false cru .libs/libgetopt.a .libs/getopt.o make[2]: *** [libgetopt.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/xapian-core-0.9.2/getopt' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/xapian-core-0.9.2' make: *** [all] Error 2

Could you post the file "config.log"? It's generated when you run configure and shows detailed results of the various configure checks. Cheers, Olly
