There are already efforts to provide fresh GCC on Solaris. I myself built a set of packages with gcc-4.6.1 for Solaris 9 and 10. They are available from the unstable catalog at OpenCSW. http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/ I would really appreciate if you tested my GCC packages. > Compiling went fine, and that compiler even compiled binutils and > gawk without troubles. > Then I went on installing postgresql (which also went fine) and running > "make check" and suddenly bailed on because of missing libgcc_so.1.

When compiling software, add -R/path/to/the/libraries to the linker invocation. This can be often achieved by setting the LDFLAGS environment variable. LDFLAGS="-R/path/to/libgcc" ./configure ... If that doesn't work, your last resort is setting LD_OPTIONS during the build phase: ./configure ... LD_OPTIONS="-R/path/to/libgcc" gmake > I noticed that gcc -v on the solaris "version" said something about rpath: > > /usr/sfw/bin/gcc -v > Reading specs from /usr/sfw/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.10/3.4.3/specs > Configured with: /builds/sfw10-gate/usr/src/cmd/gcc/gcc-3.4.3/configure > --prefix=/usr/sfw --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --with-gnu-as > --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++ > --enable-shared > Thread model: posix > gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath) > > Any clue? The SFW version of GCC has a special patch which makes it add the -R flag by default. Unless you add that a patch, GCC will not add anything to RPATH on its own.
