[aspell-help] Installing on Solaris 8

[Nick Foster]

Hi,

I am trying to install a copt of aspell on my Solaris 8 Sparc machine.

I have install pspell already and that seemed to work without 
problems. So riding on that success I thought I would install aspell 
at the same time, was it a foolish decision?

I am using version .12.2 of pspell and am trying to use version 
.33.6.3 of aspell. These I believe are compatible.

The commands I use to configure are:

shell> CC=gcc
shell> CFLAGS=-O6
shell> CXX=gcc
shell> CXXFLAGS=-O6
shell> export CC CFLAGS CXX CXXFLAGS
shell> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pspell

This starts hopefully but ends in disaster:

make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/nick/aspell-.33.6.3/lib/inc'
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/nick/aspell-.33.6.3/lib'
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -O6  -o mk-dirs_h  mk-dirs_h.o

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nick/aspell-.33.6.3'

Does anyone know how to get over this? I have looked at the makefile 
but I don't really understand it?

Thanks

Nick
