[Xymon] Xymon 4.3 compile error - Solaris 10

The Solaris linker uses "-R" instead of "--rpath". The GNU linker can use either. The Makefile for Solaris (SunOS) has a test for GNU linker, and selects the appropriate switch. But the test relies on which "ld" is found in the path, and it might not match what gcc uses.

Presumably you have GNU "ld" installed, so try adding it earlier than /usr/ccs/bin/ in your PATH before running make, so that the Makefile finds the correct version.

Alternatively, edit Makefile.SunOS and change "--rpath" to "-R".

But first do what Paul suggested and re-run configure.
