Fwd: Compiling Problems - Squid 1.1.9

Hello,
 
FYI I found the problem.
 
I keep all my GNU compilers and tools in /usr/local/bin. The ar utility lives
in /usr/ccs/bin. When I ran the configure script, it placed the following line
in the lib/Makefile
 
 
AR_R = /usr/bin/false r
 
 
which I replaced with
 
 
AR_R = /usr/ccs/bin -r
 
 
That fixed the problem.
 
Why would the configure script not pickup the fact that "ar" lives in
/usr/ccs/bin? My PATH had /usr/ccs/bin in it, yet it was after /usr/local/bin
where the gcc compiler lives. Is this a bug with configure?
 
 
Hope this helps someone else out!
 
 
Regards,

Hi,
 
Tried compiling Squid on a new system running Solaris 2.5.1 and using gcc
2.7.2. Hit the following linker error;
 
gcc -o squid -g acl.o cache_cf.o client_db.o client_side.o comm.o debug.o
disk.o dns.o errorpage.o event.o fdstat.o filemap.o fqdncache.o ftp.o gopher.o
  
hash.o http.o http-anon.o icmp.o icp.o ident.o ipcache.o main.o mime.o
neighbors.o net_db.o objcache.o pass.o proto.o redirect.o refresh.o
send-announce.o ssl.o stack.o stat.o stmem.o store.o store_clean.o
storetoString.o tools.o unlinkd.o url.o useragent.o wais.o -L../lib -lcrypt
-lmiscutil -lm -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl
ld: fatal: library -lmiscutil: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to squid
make[1]: *** [squid] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/squid-1.1.9/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2
 
 
 
I noticed the lib/Makefile references the archive "libmiscutil.a". I have
searched my entire system and it appears that the libmiscutil.a archive is not
part of either the Solaris ditribution nor your Squid distribution.
 
 
Can you shed any light on the subject??
 
 
Thanks in advance!
 
 
Regards,
