IO::Tty is a pre-req for expect.pm
IO::Tty install reports that "Configuration looks good!" (See below)
but the makefile fails with missing Tty.so

Any suggestions?

gpx,

The destination may be Tty.so but I guess the source for your problem is the the make file which you are using. What version of solaris you are using?

If you keenly look in the gmake output which you attached to the thread, you could see a line stating that:

"cc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'"

Your gcc compiler doesnt recoganizes the option which is passed while you run make(its gmake what you use from bin). Check out the command:

cc -c -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_TS_ERRNO -xO3 -xspace -xildoff -DVERSION=\"1.08\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.08\" -KPIC "-I/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/i86pc-solaris-64int/CORE" -DHAVE_DEV_PTMX -DHAVE_GRANTPT -DHAVE_POSIX_OPENPT -DHAVE_PTSNAME -DHAVE_SIGACTION -DHAVE_STRLCPY -DHAVE_SYS_STROPTS_H -DHAVE_TERMIOS_H -DHAVE_TERMIO_H -DHAVE_TTYNAME -DHAVE_UNLOCKPT Tty.c

First, "-KPIC" is not recoganized by your compiler. So, this command breaks and no ouput is produced. The expected output is 'Tty.o'. This 'Tty.o' should be the input for the command following the cc command which was pasted above.

LD_RUN_PATH="" cc -G Tty.o -o blib/arch/auto/IO/Tty/Tty.so
cc: Tty.o: No such file or directory
cc: no input files
gmake: *** [blib/arch/auto/IO/Tty/Tty.so] Error 1

"cc: Tty.o: No such file or directory" - you can see the problem here, which intern affected the rest.

Can you paste your gmake to resolve this problem?

I can guess the problem but I dont want to confirm before seeing your gmake. If you cant paste the entire gmake, you can just paste the line which containing 'OPTIMIZE' in it.

Thanks,
