RE: problem configuring bind-9.3.0rc4 on Solaris8

Hi,
Download gcc from http://www.sunfreeware.com for Solaris 8 and install
it using pkgadd command. It will install it in /usr/local/bin so include
this in your path. Also include /usr/ccs/bin in your path. Then you can
compile bind, I would suggest you to use following command

../configure --sysconfdir=/etc --disable-ipv6
Then make and make install. Create a named.conf file /etc and put local
zone files where you like usually in /var/named.

Thanks Brian,
Your suggestion fixed the error of ar. But now I am getting another
error:

no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH





# ./configure -prefix=/bind-9.3.1

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See
`config.log' for more details.



Please help to fix the issue.

ar isn't in the path by default on Solaris 8.



ksh

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin

../configure



you may want to switch the order of ccs/bin and xpg4/bin on your own

preference. you may also want to do a bunch of other stuff before
running

configure. This should just make sure you get ar and a bunch of other

needed stuff in your PATH, if it's installed on your system.
