Comments:
This occurs only when I try to build with gcc 4.2.2, I can build this with gcc 3.4.2. but I need to be able to build this with gcc 4.2.2.

Comments: [ellson] There must be something else going on? I'm not having any problems building with gcc-4.4.4 on Fedora-13.

Can you send me your config.log please?

[imam] Attached is the config.log. if you do not get the attachment, please let me know, I will send from my yahoo account.

[ellson] I'm suspicious of your CC setting from your environment.

Can you please try:


    ./configure CC=/opt/tools/bin/gcc 
        --prefix=/opt/tools/graphviz/2.26.3.a --libdir=/opt/tools/graphviz/2.26.3.a/lib64 
        --with-tclsh=/opt/tools/tcl-tk/8.4.9/bin/tclsh --with-wish=/opt/tools/tcl-tk/8.4.9/bin/wish8.4

[imam] Sure I can certainly try that out tonight.

Just curious, What are you suspecting about gcc setting?

[ellson] Unless I'm misreading the config.log, you currently have:

CC="/opt/tools/bin/gcc -O2 -fPIC -I/opt/tools/perl/5.8.7/include -L/opt/tools/perl/5.8.7/lib64 -I/opt/tools/graphviz/2.26.3.a/include -L/opt/tools/graphviz/2.26.3.a/lib -L/opt/tools/graphviz/2.26.3.a/lib64 -fPIC -Wl,-rpath=/opt/tools/perl/5.8.7/lib64:/opt/tools/graphviz/2.26.3.a/lib64:/opt/tools/graphviz/2.26.3.a/lib"

which is totally the wrong way to pass in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.

My guess is that perl has its own notion of malloc.

I could be wrong... let me know what happens.

[imam] It's looking much promising, I figured out what was incorrect in my build script. $CC was set as:


export CC="$CC $CFLAGS"

that's where "-I/opt/tools/perl/5.8.7/include -L/opt/tools/perl/5.8.7/lib64" was getting appended and as your pointed out that might very well have caused the build failures. I ran the build taking out the $CFLAGS off that line above and the builds seems to have gone through OK.

Thanks for pointing it out, I will build it now for SLES9/SLES10 platforms. I will keep you posted.
