[Sent to port64-netbsd because the same program works fine on i386, so I assume it is a Sparc-specific problem. Copy to autoconf mailing list because the program is a configure script.] An autoconf-generated configure script always crash: checking for vprintf... rm: conftest: is a directory rm: conftest: is a directory no checking for getaddrinfo... rm: conftest: is a directory rm: conftest: is a directory no and fails to discover things that do exist (such as getaddrinfo on NetBSD). The first similar tests are fine (here the content of config.log) configure:4683: cc -o conftest -g -O2 conftest.c conftstm.o >&5 configure:4686: $? = 0 configure:4724: result: ok ... configure:6557: checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in configure:6562: cc -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5 configure:6565: $? = 0 configure:6579: cc -shared conftest.o -v -Wl,-soname -Wl,conftest -o conftest 2\>\&1 \| grep -lc \>/dev/null 2\>\&1 configure:6582: $? = 1 configure:6594: result: yes Then they fail: configure:20264: checking for socket in -lsocket configure:20294: cc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/pkg/include -L/usr/pkg/lib conftest.c -lsocket >&5 ld: cannot open output file conftest: Is a directory configure:20300: $? = 1 NetBSD 1.6.2, UltraSparc 10. On a regular PC with the same version of NetBSD, everything is fine. I noticed what seems to be a similar problem on the UltraSparc: http://www.NetBSD.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=22046 You can retrieve the test program at ftp://ftp.internatif.org/pub/unix/echoping /echoping-6.0-BETA.tar.gz. -- Stéphane Bortzmeyer http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/ Tout est aléa, confusion et précarité, sauf le Catalogue.
