not sure, but the initial question could also be read meaning he wants to do cross-compiling, i.e. doing the build on Linux but running the executable on Solaris. If that's the intention, I would advise you not to try it, except you consider yourself an experts in these kind of things. Although theoretically possible, it's definitely nothing for the faint-hearted. ;) Erdmut -- Erdmut Pfeifer science+computing gmbh -- Bugs come in through open windows. Keep Windows shut! --
