[mrtg] Installing RRDTool on Solaris 10 from source code(tar ball)

[anjini shukla]

Hello all,
I am trying to install rrd from the tar ball, when i run the command make:

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for RRDs
cd perl-shared && make
cp RRDs.pm blib/lib/RRDs.pm
cp ntmake.pl blib/lib/ntmake.pl
/bin/perl /usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp  -typemap
/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/ExtUtils/typemap  RRDs.xs > RRDs.xsc && mv RRDs.xsc
RRDs.c
cc -c  -I../../src  -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -xarch=v8
-D_TS_ERRNO -xO3 -xspace -xildoff    -DVERSION=\"1.2019\"
-DXS_VERSION=\"1.2019\" -KPIC
"-I/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/sun4-solaris-64int/CORE"  -DPERLPATCHLEVEL=8 RRDs.c
*cc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'*
cc: language ildoff not recognized


I tried the following things,
ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc /usr/ucb/cc

CC=gcc
export CC

vi Makefile: LDFLAGS = gcc

is there any quick fix for this..?

Thanks,
Anjini
