RE: compiling 2.0.5b1 on Solaris 8

[Darren Nguyen]

Hi,

I'm currently using cfengine 1.x. I am trying to upgrade to 2.x. I'm compiling 
for the newest cfengine. The version is 2.0.5b1. The config.log message below 
is for my attempt to compile cfengine 2.x

Thanks again.

Doesn't look like an openssl problem!
libnsl.so.1 is a basic part of your operating system. I've no experiences with
cfengine 1.x under Solaris, but I believe that cfengine/configure needs to
include one more basic lib with -l.
Perhaps you should use a newer version of cfengine. Could be a bug that is
already fixed.
