[Orca-users] Installation errors on solaris 8 (sparc)

[Roger Rosenblum]

Orca users:

I'm trying to install orca-0.27 on a solaris 8 system.  configure runs
fine, but when I run make I get:

checking for shared library extension... so
checking for the C compiler perl wants to use to build its modules... ./configure: test: unknown operator -B/usr/ccs/bin/
make[1]: *** [rrdtool-1.0.40/config.status] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/staff/rsr/orca/orca-0.27/packages'
make: *** [all] Error 1

which looks like there's a misplaced option somewhere which I can't find
in the makefiles or my environment.  my path and ld_library_path vars are
set as:

/usr/local /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/ccs/bin /usr/ccs/lib /usr/include /usr/xpg4/bin /usr/openwin/bin /usr/local/ssl/lib /usr/new /bin /usr/sbin /usr/ucb

/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/ucb/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib:/usr/local/openssl/lib

resepctively.  This seems like it's an error on my system, but where?

Any pointers appreciated.

Roger
