Not sure what happened, but it looks like I sent up the wrong snippet of output. Here's the error I was actually seeing:

make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/cbld/lib'

This seems to be an issue with which directories are specified in the -I arguments to gcc. If I manually copy -pre6/lib/setup.h and -pre6/lib/getdate.h into the build directory (/tmp/cbld/lib/ in this example), it appears to build fine... Is this a remnant from having moved config.h into the lib and src sub-directories?

In answer to your libtool question:

  $ pwd
  /tmp/cbld
  $ ./libtool --version
  ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2 (1.922.2.54 2001/09/11 03:33:37)

Appears to be the same as yours. Here was my exact set of steps:

  $ pwd
  /usr/src
  $ tar xjf curl-7.9.5-pre6.tar.bz2
  $ mkdir /tmp/cbld
  $ cd /tmp/cbld
  $ /usr/src/curl-7.9.5-pre6/configure
  [...]
  $ make

Thanks,

Why can't it find the library? It is in the ../lib directory, right?

I can build this fine in a separate directory, on both Solaris and Linux, and
my link line is *very* similar to yours here.

When you build in a separate directory and it fails, what does the libtool
that got created in your build dir say about its version?

$ pwd
[...]/tmp/build
$ ./libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.2 (1.922.2.54 2001/09/11 03:33:37)
