What are you typing on the command line? Something like "make test_dynamic". Do you have a makefile?

 

[nawlej]

yes i have a make file, it starts to install, but stops on error......i just type make install....what could i check to eliminate a compiler problem?

Check the install script... Sometimes install looks for the executable in a certain place like subdirectory under the source code directory. Most of the time we use the subdirectory called "solaris". If you are saying your program is compiling you should be able to find a test_dynamic.o and test_dynamic*. Make sure you these files are in the proper place for the install script.

I fixed it. Was installing a 64 bit program, but only had the 32 bit modules installed. By the way, test_dynamic is the target whenever you run "make test" if your program doesnt have make test capability it will fail.
