Hi folks,

I am having problems compiling the povray 3.5 executable from source on
Solaris8
It barfs with the following messages;

Any clues would be appreciated!

First of all: I know bugger all about solaris, so don't come crying to 
me when this makes you machine explode ;-)

Seems like the linker can't find a library: try including 
'-L/usr/openwin/lib/' (or whereever libX11 is located) and maybe add 
some other needed library paths for png peg and tiss libraries in the 
same way.

If it is having problems finding the libs at runtime after this (do ldd 
on the binary ) add -static to the lastcommand and try again.

Good luck,
Rob

  No. That's exactly the flag he should remove in order to get povray
compiled. It won't compile with it.

Excuse the stupid question, but why?

  The standard Solaris distribution doesn't have static X-libraries
(ie. the .a-files), only dynamic ones (ie. the .so-files). The linking
error is produced because the linker can't find the static libraries,
even though it was ordered to use them.

Thanks, that makes sense.
I'll give it a try later on tonight and let you know what happens.

Cheers,
