Error compiling binutils on solaris 10X86

Error compiling binutils on solaris 10X86

[Koo Kee Kiat]

Hi,

I tried installing binutils 2.15 on solaris 10 X86. I took the following steps: -

1. ./configure
2. make

Step 2 throw the following error: -
cc -fast -o ld-new ldgram.o ldlex.o lexsup.o ldlang.o mri.o ldctor.o ldmain.o ldwrite.o ldexp.o ldemul.o ldver.o ldmisc.o ldfile.o ldcref.o eelf_i386_ldso.o eelf_i386.o  ../bfd/.libs/libbfd.a ../libiberty/libiberty.a
rm -f ldver.texi
echo '@set VERSION 2.15' > ldver.texi
touch ld.1
perl ./../etc/texi2pod.pl -Dman < ./ld.texinfo > ld.pod
(pod2man --center="GNU Development Tools"  --release="binutils-2.15" --section=1 ld.pod | \
        sed -e '/^.if n .na/d' > ld.1.T$$ && \
        mv -f ld.1.T$$ ld.1) || \
        (rm -f ld.1.T$$ && exit 1)
sh: pod2man: not found
rm -f ld.pod

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

pod2man is usually installed into /usr/bin.  It is part of the perl 
package.  Perhaps perl was only partially installed on your system ?

Suggested workaround: compile with "make -k".
