Hi,
I had some success getting GNUstep work on solaris 8 & 10! however, when
I updated right now on solaris 10, I cannot configure it anymore (use
the same options though)
configure:13270: checking whether objc really works
configure:13300: gcc -o conftest -g -O2

I then check for libffi and see:
bash-4.2$ ls -l /opt/csw/lib/libffi*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Dec 29 16:39
/opt/csw/lib/libffi.so.4 -> libffi.so.4.0.1

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 25000 Jun 25 2011
/opt/csw/lib/libffi.so.5.0.10
I see that there is no main .so library linked to, I'd expect, so.5
I suppose this is an upgrade/package problem? what's your take?
(it would be even better to upgrade all packages to one libffi version,
in my experience, but that's a different thing)
