No output written to conftest Presumably the problem is that the cc call lacks "-lm". Indeed. Just took me a bit longer to get that. :-) Checking back against 8.1, I see that 8.1's configure has AC_CHECK_LIB(m, main) where 8.2 tries to do AC_SEARCH_LIBS(pow, m) I suppose there is something funny about pow() on your platform causing that probe to fail. What does config.log have at the "checking for library containing pow" step? configure:5168: checking for library containing pow configure:5198: /sw/sun-studio-11/SUNWspro/bin/cc -Xa -o conftest -fast -fns=no -fsimple=1 -xtarget=opteron -xarch=amd64a     conftest.c  >&5 configure:5204: $? = 0 configure:5208: test -z              || test ! -s conftest.err configure:5211: $? = 0 configure:5214: test -s conftest configure:5217: $? = 0 configure:5287: result: none required   regards,      Andreas Lange
