I have now solved this issue. It was a bug in the GNU linker, version 2.15 which is included in Solaris as /usr/sfw/bin/gld I created a hello world, and tried linking with the atlas and blas libraries, only to find I got a couple of error messages during the link phase. One of these was included the text undefined reference to `ld...@sysvabi_1.3' A Google on that pointed to a bug in the GNU linker. An update to the latest binutils (2.19) solved that one. How can the bug be closed. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
