[Nagiosplug-help] Nagios Plugin Compilation and Solaris 10

[Keegan,Nate]

Ok, I did some more work on this and here is what I found out.

The GCC that is shipped with Solaris 10 is version 3.4.3:

[root at yellowjacket ~]# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/sfw/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.10/3.4.3/specs
Configured with: /builds/sfw10-gate/usr/src/cmd/gcc/gcc-3.4.3/configure
--prefix=/usr/sfw --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --with-gnu-as
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++
--enable-shared
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath)

The version I was using was 3.4.6 from Sunfreeware.com

[root at yellowjacket ~]# /usr/local/bin/gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.10/3.4.6/specs
Configured with: ../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,f77
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.6

I can't say for sure why using the Solaris installed version works other than there is a note on Sunfreeware's GCC page about 64-bit and using the Solaris installed GCC.

I'm not a GCC master (and I don't play one on TV) but I'm going to guess that one GCC is built for 64-bit support and the other is not (maybe?).
