Symbol referencing errors

during software installation

[LeshanShui]

Guys:

I was installing a software in my account on Solaris. When I executed make, I got the following error message:

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to ~/bin/sparc.

Does anyone have instructions?

Thanks.

Paul

I think that means you are missing files or libraries required by the install - did you check the dependancies?

Give us the output error of the compiler, and the name/version of the software you're trying to compile.

I was trying to download blatSuite24.zip from
[soe.ucsc.edu...]

output is following:
