[erlang-questions] Erlang Install on i368-pc-sollaris2.10 issues

[Kelvin Poon (Scotiabank GBM)]

Hi,

I am running into an issue with an Erlang install on our Unix machine (Solaris 10).

Erlang version: R16B03
OS: Solaris 10

I am following the steps listed on the official install page:

https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/maint/HOWTO/INSTALL.md

I have unpacked the tar file from erlang.org, these are the steps I have followed:

export ERL_TOP=<my local directory where tar file was unpacked>/otp_src_R16B03
export DED_LD=gcc #using gcc located at /usr/sfw/bin/gcc
export PATH=/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin/:/bin
./configure -prefix=<target erlang install directory>

Configuration finished with: (I can post the entire output if necessary)

The error I receive is:

I looked around..it looks like it has to do with the gcc library on solaris. Is this an issue with my gcc install where it has unresolved symbols?

I realize I can get pass this by using LDFLAGS=-W1,-x,nodefs where it ignores unresolved symbols. However I need this for the purpose of running RabbitMQ, and I run into other issues when running RabbitMQ when install Erlang this way, so I would like to see what your opinions are.

Thanks,
