You have got to be kidding me!

[John Williams]

I just tried to run configure on an Ultra30 sun workstation...  and got
the following:


urchin% ../glibc-2.2.5/configure --enable-add-ons
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8
*** The GNU C library is currently not available for this platform.
*** So far nobody cared to port it and if there is no volunteer it
*** might never happen.  So, if you have interest to see glibc on
*** this platform visit
*** http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/porting.html
*** and join the group of porters
urchin%

Now obviously I am trying to compile glibc, and I am not doing it as a
leisure
activity.  So this is some dimbulbs idea of humor or what?

Pardon me for being less than courteous.  I have been trying to compile
a graphing program for some weeks now and it seems every time I
turn a corner I get my shins bashed.  This is just the last in a long
line.
