can not build krb5-1.6.3 on solaris 10

[Cheng, Xian Lin]

Ken

Thanks again. You are conrrect. The problem is the configure. Today, I
run configure for both 1.6.2 and 1.6.3 under the same PATH environment.
The result is different from the config.log file.
(1.6.2)
PATH: /usr/ccs/bin
PATH: /usr/local/bin
...
configure:1494: checking for gcc
configure:1520: result: gcc
...
configure:7477: checking for ar
configure:7504: result: ar cqv
configure:7513: checking for ar
configure:7540: result: ar cruv
configure:7560: checking for a BSD-compatible install
configure:7615: result: ./config/install-sh -c
configure:7628: checking for ar
configure:7655: result: ar

(1.6.3)
PATH: /usr/ccs/bin
PATH: /usr/local/bin
...
configure:1495: checking for gcc
configure:1521: result: cc
...
configure:7478: checking for ar
configure:7505: result: false
configure:7514: checking for ar
configure:7541: result: false
configure:7561: checking for a BSD-compatible install
configure:7616: result: ./config/install-sh -c
configure:7629: checking for ar
configure:7656: result: false

The 1.6.3 hase he correct PATH, but refuse to use ar in /usr/ccs/bin and
gcc in /usr/local/bin. How do I check the configure script to find the
problem?

Thanks
Xian

By the time you run make, it's already looked for ar and decided  
whether to use it or false.

Offhand, I'm not sure what a good next step would be to try debugging  
this, unless you want to try editing the configure script itself to  
trace through the tests that look to see where the ar program lives...

Is there any chance you ran configure once before with a different  
environment where PATH might not have included /usr/ccs/bin?  The  
configure script caches results from one run to the next in  
"config.cache" in the top of the build tree.
