Subject: have_library fails on SunOS 5.8 sun4u ??


rubyists-

i'm trying to compile the ruby-postgres package, and it seems that
'have_library' is not working on SunOS 5.8 sun4u??

for example:

/tmp/vtrcs/ruby-postgres-0.7.1 > uname -srm
SunOS 5.8 sun4u

/tmp/vtrcs/ruby-postgres-0.7.1 > cat foo.c
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) { socket(0, 0, 0); return 0; }

/tmp/vtrcs/ruby-postgres-0.7.1 > gcc foo.c -lsocket

/tmp/vtrcs/ruby-postgres-0.7.1 > ruby extconf.rb --with-pgsql-dir=/usr/local/pgsql
checking for cygwin32_socket() in -lwsock32... no
checking for socket() in -lsocket... no
checking for socket() in -lsys/socket... no
checking for gethostbyname() in -linet... no
checking for gethostbyname() in -lnsl... no
checking for sys/un.h... yes
checking for socket()... no
checking for cygwin32_socket()... no


unless i'm overlooking something totally obvious, it seems that if foo.c
compiled using -lsocket, have_library 'socket', 'socket' should succeed and
print 'yes'...  in fact, it looks like *all* calls to have_library are
failing, which seems unlikely... am i missing something here??

perplexed.
