I am trying to install freeradius 1.1.4 on solaris 10 using the following commands.
../configure --without-rlm-x99-token
configure creates the Makefile
It also produces other error messages, I think.
I then run make and get the following error ... false cru .libs/libradius.a crypt.o dict.o filters.o hash.o hmac.o
You don't have a dynamic linker on your system. Install one.

I had almost the same error compiling libxml on Solaris 10 x86 recently. In that instance the appropriate command was "ar", which was installed on the system, however I hadn't included /usr/ccs/bin in my PATH at the time I ran configure. Once I reran configure with /usr/ccs/bin in my path I was able to compile without the error. I was able to reproduce the problem under the conditions I just described with freeradius 1.1.4. Here are all the warnings I received /software/oss/builds/freeradius-1.1.4> ./configure --without-rlm-x99-token

Is this appropriate behaviour, or should configure error if it can't find 'ar', a command that is apparently necessary for the compile to successfully complete?
