In particular, what I can't rule out without actual testing on Unisys (which isn't available to me any more) is that, while -lnsl is more fundamental than -lsocket on Solaris, it may be reversed on Unisys and the test happened to work even though it was applying the libraries in the wrong order. Although the more I look at this, the more I think that Stepan is probably right. -- Russ Allbery (rra@xxxxxxxxxxxx) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
