[Iftop-users] POSIX thread compile problem on Solaris 9?
by C. Liang 21 Jan '04

21 Jan '04

I apologize in advance if this is a very basic question. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the peculiarities of Solaris .... I'm trying to compile iftop0.15 on a box running Solaris 9 (SPARC). When trying to configure, I get an error about being unable to figure out how to compile with POSIX threads: > ./configure --with-libcap=/usr/local checking for a curses library containing mvchgat... -lncurses checking how to compile a working program with POSIX threads... -lpcap -lnsl -lm -lsocket -lncurses no idea configure: error: can't figure out how to compile with POSIX threads If your system actually supports POSIX threads, this means we've messed up. I believe the libraries in question (libpthreatd, etc.) are in /usr/local/lib, which is where the ncurses libraries are (which it seems to have no problem finding). I have tried setting LDFLAGS to "-L/usr/lib -R/usr/lib", but that doesn't seem to help any. I'm trying to avoid the use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH since there have been problems in the past with getting scripts, etc. to work cleanly. Since I don't have much experience with trying to compile something using POSIX threads, is there something else I need to be feeding to the configure script? - C.

[Iftop-users] Trying to compile iftop-0.15 -- problems

I hope someone can help me out here. I am not a C coder but occasionally compile things in the Unix [aix, solaris, linux] environment. I am currently attempting to compile iftop and have run into many problem. I have installed libpcap and ncurses to get past my first two problems. I applied the patch referenced here http://lists.beasts.org/pipermail/iftop-users/2003-November/000074.html for POSIX threads. I am now stumped though. Here is the error that I am getting when trying to compile: . . . . checking for inet_pton... yes checking size of u_int8_t... unknown type checking size of u_int16_t... unknown type checking size of u_int32_t... unknown type checking for stdint.h...
