If you are using blitz with egcs under Solaris, SunOS, or OSF/1you may need to use the gnu linker.You can download the binutils from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/gnu/binutils/From Peter Nordlund:My experience with blitz and sun is that you need the gnu linker.At least I had the same problem, and by using gnu-binutils-2.9.1 I gotit to work.It can be somewhat tricky to get egcs to use the gnu-linker also.So how I do it migth not be the only way, but it worked for me.1. Install binutils-2.9.1 2. Create the bin directory where the egcs compiler will be installed.3. create links from the linker and assembler to the egcs-bin-dir.4. configure and install egcs.See the commands I used below.---------------------------mkdir BUILD; cd BUILDmkdir ../egcs-1.1a/binpushd ../egcs-1.1a/binln -s /misc/cvap/gnu/binutils-2.9.1/bin/ld .ln -s /misc/cvap/gnu/binutils-2.9.1/bin/as .popd../src/egcs-1.1a/configure --prefix=/misc/cvap/egcs/egcs-1.1a--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ldmake bootstrap-lean ; make install> I am trying to get blitz++ going on a Sun Ultra-1 running Solaris 5.6.> > The compiler is egcs 1.1b.> > The make seems to go fine until we get to the examples:> > > gmake[1]: Entering directory `/data/gaetz/blitz-19980903/examples'> > g++  matmult.o -o matmult -L../lib -lblitz -lm> > ld: warning: relocation error: R_SPARC_32: file matmult.o: symbol __Q25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt15_bz_ArrayExprOp3ZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt20_bz_ArrayExprUnaryOp2ZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt15_bz_ArrayExprOp3ZQ25blitzt21_bz_ArrayExprConstant1ZfZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt20_bz_ArrayExprUnaryOp2ZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt15_bz_ArrayExprOp3ZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt20_bz_ArrayExprUnaryOp2ZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt15_bz_ArrayExprOp3ZQ25blitzt16IndexPlaceholder1i0ZQ25blitzt21_bz_ArrayExprConstant1ZfZQ25blitzt8Subtract2ZiZfZQ25blitzt8_bz_pow21ZfZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt20_bz_ArrayExprUnaryOp2ZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt15_bz_ArrayExprOp3ZQ25blitzt16IndexPlaceholder1i1ZQ25blitzt21_bz_ArrayExpr:> >         external symbolic relocation against non-allocatable section .stab;> >         cannot be processed at runtime: relocation ignored> > Undefined                       first referenced> >  symbol                             in file> > __Q25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt15_bz_ArrayExprOp3ZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt20_bz_ArrayExprUnaryOp2ZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt15_bz_ArrayExprOp3ZQ25blitzt21_bz_ArrayExprConstant1ZfZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt20_bz_ArrayExprUnaryOp2ZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt15_bz_ArrayExprOp3ZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt20_bz_ArrayExprUnaryOp2ZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt15_bz_ArrayExprOp3ZQ25blitzt16IndexPlaceholder1i0ZQ25blitzt21_bz_ArrayExprConstant1ZfZQ25blitzt8Subtract2ZiZfZQ25blitzt8_bz_pow21ZfZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt20_bz_ArrayExprUnaryOp2ZQ25blitzt13_bz_ArrayExpr1ZQ25blitzt15_bz_ArrayExprOp3ZQ25blitzt16IndexPlaceholder1i1ZQ25blitzt21_bz_ArrayExpr matmult.o> > ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.
