Hi,

I tried replying to this thread 3 times but it just disappears, trying a new mail with the same subject.

Thanx, That fixed the first problem.

Now I have the ld problem as described. How do I tell the compilation to use /usr/local/bin/ld? It seems embedded in the c-ares tar.gz file

I made a dirty fix by linking /usr/ccs/bin/ld to /usr/local/bin/ld. Then it compiles nicely.
