install problem with 10/31/97

[Andrew Borthwick]

Hi,

    I installed the 10/31/97 snapshot on my sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1 machine,
but when I try to compile a simple "Hello World" program I get the following
error:
------------------------------------------------
johnson:codeT% cat hello.C
#include <iostream.h>

int main() {
  cout << "Hello World!\n";
}


johnson:codeT% g++ hello.C
ld: fatal: file=/johnson.a/proteus/borthwic/install/lib/libstdc++.a(filebuf.o):
relocation [R_SPARC_32] (symbol <unknown>) against non-aligned offset
(0xef197587)
ld: fatal:
file=/johnson.a/proteus/borthwic/install/lib/libstdc++.a(stdiostream.o):
relocation [R_SPARC_32] (symbol <unknown>) against non-aligned offset
(0xef197807)
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
----------------------------------------------------

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Andrew Borthwick

This was the dwarf2out.c bug.  If you look through the archives
there should be several references to a patch which will fix
this problem.

ELF platforms (Linux, Solaris, others) need to apply a patch to make that
snapshot work.  See
