RE: [GD-DEVEL] problem building GD 2.0.34 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Thanks for the link, it put me on the right path and I now have a successful Solaris build!

The first problem was I had multiple aclocal's installed on my system, and configure was finding the wrong one. The problem here is that while 'which aclocal' showed me one under /usr/local/bin, GD is looking for aclocal-1.9, which in my case meant one under /opt/csw/bin, and which did not know about packages like libtool. The solution here was to remove all traces of /opt/csw from my PATH.

The second problem was the creation of libgd.a, and was solved by adding -R/usr/ucblib to LDFLAGS when running configure.

The third problem was with conflicting versions of libiconv being found (maybe). Anyway the --with-libiconv-prefix solved this.

Here is my full configure command that resulting in a working build:
./configure LDFLAGS='-R/usr/ucblib' --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local

Hi,

it seems the same as:
