Hi list, few weeks ago I compiled PostgreSQL 8.3.1 on Solaris SPARC 9 without errors or problems. Today I would like to compile it on my old Sparis SPARC 2.6 box, so I've download new gnu software. make hangs with this message: gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/station-3/postgresql-8.3.1/src/timezone' gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -fwrapv -L../../src/port -Wl,-R'/usr/local/pgsql/lib' access/SUBSYS.o bootstrap/SUBSYS.o catalog/SUBSYS.o parser/SUBSYS.o commands/SUBSYS.o executor/SUBSYS.o lib/SUBSYS.o libpq/SUBSYS.o main/SUBSYS.o nodes/SUBSYS.o optimizer/SUBSYS.o port/SUBSYS.o postmaster/SUBSYS.o regex/SUBSYS.o rewrite/SUBSYS.o storage/SUBSYS.o tcop/SUBSYS.o tsearch/SUBSYS.o utils/SUBSYS.o ../../src/timezone/SUBSYS.o ../../src/port/libpgport_srv.a -lposix4 -lsocket -ldl -lm -o postgres Undefined first referenced symbol in file gethostbyname ../../src/port/libpgport_srv.a(getaddrinfo_srv.o) (symbol belongs to implicit dependency /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1) h_errno ../../src/port/libpgport_srv.a(getaddrinfo_srv.o) (symbol belongs to implicit dependency /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1) inet_ntoa ../../src/port/libpgport_srv.a(getaddrinfo_srv.o) (symbol belongs to implicit dependency /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1) ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.
