Actually, most of the things that come out of the box with Solaris 8 don't work right.

For the record, ld is the object linker, so while it may have something to do with libraries, more likely it has to do with the object code you are creating.

Your problem may be with the linker, and it may be with the way your compiler is creating the bitcode. Either way, a quick and (in my opinion) permanent fix would be to (as suggested above) move /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin before /usr/ccs/bin and/or /usr/ucb/bin in your path.

Then, run, don't walk, to the ibiblio Solaris archives and get some newer tools. Recent compiles of a large number of tools are available there, including gcc, gdb, and so forth.

You can find it here:

Hope this helps.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
