Many thanks to JV711 and Crist Clark for there suggestions.... - try gcc, and different versions of gcc (failed with a bunch of different errors, primarily not finding libraries in /usr/local/lib - and no simple way to define LD_LIBRARY_PATH) - download from ftp://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/special_request/xvfb/solaris/ (site not allowing me on) - upgrade to Solaris 9 or 10 - both come with Xvfb (cannot do this for political/practical reasons) - uname -imprs : SunOS 5.8 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100 - isainfo: sparcv9 sparc (even though it says sparcv9, apparently only allowed to use -xarch=v8plus with version 10 sparc and up). - what hints for the make World: none I was surprised and disappointed by the configure/make scripts not working on this install - there must not be much call for X11R6.8.? on Solaris - as it is about a year old - I have reported the errors to www.x.org / bugzilla - but no response yet. I never managed to get X11R6.8.0/1/2 compiled on the Solaris 2.8 server, but DID manage to get Xvfb compiled and installed from within the X distribution. After running the make World, and it failing on the Pci.c programs, to get Xvfb installed (? is where you have extracted X11R6.8.2) cd ?/xc/programs/Xserver/miext/damage make cd ?/xc/programs/Xserver make all make install make loadXvfb make Xvfb cp Xvfb /usr/local/bin cd ?/xc/lib/freetype2 make install Verify the install process, and all libraries can be resolved: cd /usr/local/bin ldd Xvfb Some of the above make commands fail (with the Pci.c error), but enough of the programs get compiled to get the Xvfb software working! Now I will move on to the next step, of attempting to get freeNX working....will send out a summary of NX after that! Thanks all for reading the Qu and Summary! Cheers Paul P.s. sorry for the delayed summaries, but this is a "spare time" project... -----Original Message----- From: sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org [mailto:sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org] On Behalf Of Roetman, Paul Sent: Friday, 30 September 2005 8:09 AM To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: Compiling X11R6.8.2 or 6.8.1 or 6.8.0 Is it just me, or is X11R6.8.* hard to compile on Solaris 8???? I am trying to install X11R6.8.2 on Solaris 8, so I can install Xvfb, so I can use the new NX software (replacing VNC), so I can send a summary to SunManagers about the NX software (question last week)! But have stalled on step 1.... When compiling 6.8.2 I get the below error - seems to be related to a Version 9 sparc command, stuck in the version 8 code. So I went back to 6.8.1 and get a slightly different error, interestingly, still related to Pci.*. So I went back to 6.8.0 and still get the same error! Should I just download the binaries? If so, where from? Is there a known fix for this problem - I cannot find any reference to it on google, or the sunmanagers search...Does it compile with gcc? Oh, I am using the Sun Forte C compiler.....and have installed the latest cluster patch....
