Have_library fails on SunOS 5.8 sun4u?

rubyists-

i’m trying to compile the ruby-postgres package, and it seems that
‘have_library’ is not working on SunOS 5.8 sun4u??

for example:

/tmp/vtrcs/ruby-postgres-0.7.1 > uname -srm
SunOS 5.8 sun4u

/tmp/vtrcs/ruby-postgres-0.7.1 > cat foo.c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) { socket(0, 0, 0); return 0; }

/tmp/vtrcs/ruby-postgres-0.7.1 > gcc foo.c -lsocket

/tmp/vtrcs/ruby-postgres-0.7.1 > ruby extconf.rb --with-pgsql-dir=/usr/local/pgsql
checking for cygwin32_socket() in -lwsock32… no
checking for socket() in -lsocket… no
checking for socket() in -lsys/socket… no
checking for gethostbyname() in -linet… no
checking for gethostbyname() in -lnsl… no
checking for sys/un.h… yes
checking for socket()… no
checking for cygwin32_socket()… no

unless i’m overlooking something totally obvious, it seems that if foo.c
compiled using -lsocket, have_library ‘socket’, ‘socket’ should succeed and
print ‘yes’… in fact, it looks like all calls to have_library are
failing, which seems unlikely… am i missing something here??

perplexed.

The problem is not in have_library

nasun% uname -srm
SunOS 5.8 sun4u
nasun%

nasun% ruby extconf.rb --with-pgsql-dir=/usr/local/pgsql
checking for cygwin32_socket() in -lwsock32... no
checking for socket() in -lsocket... yes
checking for gethostbyname() in -linet... no
checking for gethostbyname() in -lnsl... yes
checking for sys/un.h... yes
checking for socket()... yes
checking for hsterror()... no
checking for gethostname()... yes
checking for PQsetdbLogin() in -lpq... yes
checking for PQsetClientEncoding()... yes
checking for pg_encoding_to_char()... no
checking for PQescapeString()... yes

Look in the file mkmf.log to see the result of the command, and why it
fail

thanks guy:

gcc -o conftest -I/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.6/sparc-solaris2.8 -g -O2
-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/pgsql /include -Wl,-E
-L/usr/local/pgsql/lib conftest.c -lwsock32 -lc -ldl -lcrypt -lm
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: illegal option – E

looks like rbconfig thinks the linker options need -E. anyone know a clean
way around this?
