in reply to Error during compilation of 5.8.8 on solaris 10

OK.. it's fixed. the 4.2.52.NC-sol10-sparc-local patch was needed, but the pathing was wrong. I needed to update the path to include the library.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:<location_of_ldb_l ibrary>

thanks again everyone.
all of you were a huge help.

    Hi,

    I encountered the same problem. A simple link did the job:

    ln -s /usr/lib/libdb.so.1 /usr/lib/libdb.so

    after doing so, I could compile perl5.8.8
    (whithout installing the "patch" mentioned above) ;-)

    Bye,
    PiT
