You specified no cc but you seem to have the Workshop

(/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc) installed, using that.

If you want something else, specify that in the command

e.g. Configure -Dcc=gcc

Checking your choice of C compiler and flags for
coherency...

I've tried to compile and run the following simple program:

 

#include <stdio.h>

int main() { printf("Okn"); return(0); }

 

I used the command:

 

        /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -o try -O -xarch=generic64
-I/usr/local/include -xarch=generic64 -L/usr/lib/sparcv9
-L/usr/ccs/lib/sparcv9 -L/opt/SUNWspro/prod/lib/v9
-L/lib/sparcv9
-L/usr/local/lib try.c -lsocket -lnsl -ldb -ldl -lm -lc

         ./try

 

and I got the following output:

 

cc: Warning: -xarch=generic64 is deprecated, use -m64 to
create 64-bit
programs

cc: Warning: -xarch=generic64 is deprecated, use -m64 to
create 64-bit
programs

ld: fatal: library -ldb: not found

ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to try

I can't compile the test program.

You have a BIG problem.  Shall I abort Configure [y]  

Ok.  Stopping Configure.

It's not obvious there's much we can do about this.  The
-xarch=generic64 
is coming from a call to Solaris's getconf.  There may be
some sort of 
patch or update to /usr/bin/getconf to update it with what
the newer 
compiler is expecting.

In any case, that's not the problem here.

Configure has found a library -ldb somewhere.  (Since you
ran Configure in 
silent mode, I can't see whether or not it's a shared
library, but I'll 
guess Configure thinks it found a shared library in 
/usr/local/lib/libdb.so.)

Could you check and find the full path to libdb?  Make sure
it's a valid 
library.  You can try for your self to compile the test
program with 
the compile command Configure used.

If you don't care about -ldb (which is used to support the
Berkeley DB 
module) then you can simply remove -ldb from the list of
libraries.
(One way to do that is to run Configure interactively up to
that point, 
and then respond with '&-d' to get Configure to accept
all the defaults
for the rest of the program.

Hope this helps,
