Hmm. They are all warnings - did you omit the actual error message? The lack of CMSG_LEN seems to suggest that control messages are not supported on Solaris 8, or that you need to include an additional header file to get them. > Is Solaris 8 really a supported platform? If so, I can investigate the > changes he suggested. The concept of "supported platform" doesn't really exist - there is no way to obtain "support". If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't. So if you want it fixed, provide a patch - else we can drop the issue. I think multiprocessing is misguided in hard-coding these settings into setup.py. As we can see, the necessary features are available on some versions of Solaris, but not on others. It would be better if autoconf tests were written, and the entire configuration removed from setup.py.
