Re: Compile problems on Solaris 8

After spending the last few hours reading everything having the words "solaris" 
and "compile" in both the BY and snort-users archives, I've seen a couple of 
problems very similar to mine and no answers to each.

At this point I'm forced to conclude that no one has ever gotten BY 2 to work 
on Solaris 7, 8, or 9, and feel it appropriate to file a bug report.  I'll hold 
off doing that for a couple of hours, though...while I try to get the latest 
snort up and running...hoping that NOT running BY 2 won't cause me other 
problems.

I need the latest/greatest snort running, configured and working in all 
respects in no later than a week and a half.

My appreciation to all who have offered help thus far!

I spose I should start messing with barnyard on Solaris....

The only other idea I would have is to search the snort-users archives for 
Solaris and compile problems.  There's been plenty of posts about it.  I 
just don't recall what the fix was, but it has something to do with the 
compilers you use.

Note: I *thought* you had to compile with gcc, but you've already done that.
