Cheers, Used option 2 and just set the cflags for solaris 8 and it gets passed that bit, complaining now about gdlibs but I'll have a fiddle with that next week as that's on from building nagios but may need some tinkering.
Thanks for the help! :) JB -----Original Message----- From: Mike Tremaine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 May 2004 16:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Ntop] Please help, Solaris 7 configure problems.

We never built a SOLARIS7 configureextra file so you should probably either 1) copy the file ./configureextra/SOLARIS8 to SOLARIS7 (and check with Burton about the file naming it something with version but I forget. 2) Just pull the flags out of the SOLARIS8 file and use them when you invoke ./configure -- Mike Tremaine [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.stellarcore.net _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs SkyScan service. ********************************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may be subject to legal privilege, and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
