Trying to compile libmemcached in Solaris 10 SPARC

Question

I have a SPARC enterprise server with Solaris 10 SPARC OS installed. I have unpacked the tarball file 'libmemcached-0.10.tar.gz' into a directory and I am trying to compile it. I get the following error on terminal

pod2man: command not found

What do I do next?

Answer 1

It should be under /usr/perl5 somewhere. Try: find /usr/perl5 -name pod2man Or if you have a local version, look under /usr/local Then add the directory to your $PATH in $HOME/.profile

Answer 2

For your other errors you need to link in libsocket, -lsocket. See the Programming Interfaces Guide, Chapter 8 Socket Interfaces at https://docs.oracle.com/ https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19120-01/open.solaris/817-4415/sockets-85885/index.html

In general, if you have a undefined interface error during linking, you need to add a library containing those missing interfaces.
