Re: [Help-gsl] Solaris 10 - GSL - Error 1 / Error 2

[Agile Aspect]

Hi Verkerk - yes, I've compiled gsl-1.10 on Solaris 10 with out
any problem using gcc-3.2.3.

I'm presuming you ran the configure script.

Note, instead of changing the Makefile, check to see if /usr/ccs/bin
has been installed.

If it has then try appending /usr/ccs/bin/  to the front of your PATH
environment variable.

Both ar and ranlib are in /usr/ccs/bin (but ranlib isn't needed for
Solaris.)

For instance, in this particular case, the libtool script is using

    false cru <blah>

instead of

   ar cru <blah>

since it couldn't find 'ar'.

Editing the libtool script and defining AR may fix your problem .
