If there is a better place to discuss this issue please tell me. I am tyring to build a number of GNU packages on a solaris9 machine. I am frequently seeing failures like this one (from gcc-3.3.2): gcc -g -DIN_GCC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wtraditional -pedantic -Wno-long-long -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -o cc1 c-parse.o c-lang.o c-pretty-print.o attribs.o c-errors.o c-lex.o c-pragma.o c-decl.o c-typeck.o c-convert.o c-aux-info.o c-common.o c-opts.o c-format.o c-semantics.o c-objc-common.o c-dump.o libcpp.a main.o libbackend.a ./intl/libintl.a ../libiberty/libiberty.a Undefined first referenced symbol in file libintl_bindtextdomain libbackend.a(intl.o) libintl_gettext c-parse.o libintl_textdomain libbackend.a(intl.o) ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to cc1 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status *** Error code 1 I am seeing similar failuses in other packages. Any idea what the root cause might be? The mailing list archives have not been helpful to me. Who can I lobby to get twiki.gnu.org up and running? H
