Hi Dylan,
Even I had faced a similar problem sometime back. Looking forward for some
responses from the list..
Try not to set the CC and CXX flags and let the configure script pick up the
compiler for you. This way you do not get this error anymore.
However, I do get these errors when I set the CC and CXX flags for pointing
to SUN's forte compilers.

Gracias,
Amit

Subject: building curl on solaris 2.6

Hello,

I am having problems building libcurl on solaris 2.6 here is the command I
used for configure ./configure --prefix=/public/SunSoftware?/curl-7.10.7
--with-ssl=/public/SunSoftware?/openssl-0.9.7c --without-zlib
--enable-shared

and here is the error message that I received:

checking for off_t... yes
checking size of off_t... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (off_t),
77 See `config.log' for more details.

config.log was not of much help either as this is what it contained (at the
error point)

#define TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME 1
#define VERSION "7.10.7"
#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
 
configure: exit 1

I also tried setting the C compiler and C++ compiler CXX=CC and CC=cc but
got the same result.

I am including the entire configure output and was hoping someone could
give me a suggestion as to how to work around this problem.

Any help would be appreciated
-Dylan
