Bug reference:      1807
Logged by:          Janet Hempstead

PostgreSQL version: 8.0.3
Operating system:   Solaris 9 (sparc)
Description:        cannot build postgresql: libascii_and_mic.so.0.0: No
such file or directory
Details:

I am trying to build postgresql 8.0.3 on a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 9.  I
have the Sunfreeware (small) version of gcc 3.3.2 installed.  I have
searched and I cannot find a similar problem report and I have been unable
to resolve this compile problem (although I think it is in the order that
things are specified on the gcc line).

I cannot add -m64 to the compile line because there
are other Sunfreeware packages installed that are not 64-bit-enabled (I
think it was readline): is this *really* the problem?

Here is my ./configure invocation:

export LDFLAGS='-L /usr/lib -L /usr/local/lib -L /usr/local/ssl/lib'
export CPPFLAGS='-fPIC -I /usr/include -I /usr/local/include -I
/usr/local/ssl/include'
export CFLAGS='-fPIC -I /usr/include -I /usr/local/include -I
/usr/local/ssl/include'
export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
export LDFLAGS_SL=''
./configure \
  --with-openssl \
  --with-pam \
  --with-perl \
  --enable-thread-safety \
  --disable-nls

Here is the context of the error message:

 -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing
-fPIC -I../../../../../../src/include -fPIC -I /usr/include -I
/usr/local/include -I /usr/local/ssl/include   -c -o ascii_and_mic.o

gcc -shared -h libascii_and_mic.so.0  ascii_and_mic.o
-L../../../../../../src/port -L -L -L   -o libascii_and_mic.so.0.0
gcc: libascii_and_mic.so.0.0: No such file or directory

I am probably doing something really stupid; please let me know.  Thanks!
