Since I don't have librt.so on my Solaris (2.6 & 8) machines, I am trying to get Boost to use libposix4.so (which contains the same functions). I have substituted "posix4" for "rt" in the configure and configure.in files. I have done the same for the gcc-tools.jam file, since, I am using gcc (2.95.2 and 3.2). All seems to go well until I try to run the thread tests. Then, the linker is unable to find the posix4 library! What's going on? libposix4.so is in /usr/lib, so, the gcc compiler should be able to find it. Any ideas?

I have found out that the posix linking problem only occurs when trying to build the runtime-link-static variants of the test programs. Does this make sense, that a shared object like libposix4.so can not be linked in staticly? Does it not make sense for the libs/thread/test Jamfile to try and do that? Greg Silverman TRW Sunnyvale, CA
