Hi Jeremy,

Have you tried the cvs that time?
I'm setting this case to "pending" which means it will be closed
automatically within 14 days if
you won't post a reply until then.

Best regards
Matthias

hi,

there exists code in the configure script which should find
cases where -lnsl/-lsocket is needed, so i'm wondering why
it's not working for you.

could you try compiling from the latest cvs?

if you still have the problem, could you post your config.log?

Dear Jeremy,

I am writing to thank you for opening a tracker about this
problem, which appears to be Solaris specific.

The developers advice is to add  _both_ -lnsl and -lsocket
for Solaris compiles.

Since all the Makefiles for the plugins are generated by
autoconf/automake, there needs to be Solaris specific mods
made to configure.in and perhaps plugin/Makefile.am for this
to please everyone.

In the meantime, others should do as you have and manually
add the extra libraries for Solaris.
