Hello rsonak,

I am trying to compile ejabberd-1.1.1 on solaris platform.
I am getting the same error which is submitted by you on
Tue, 2006-07-25 .
bash-2.05# gmake
gcc -Wall -g -O2 -lz -L -lerl_interface -lei \
expat_erl.c \
-lexpat \

ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to expat_erl.so
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Did you find any solution?
I am really tried hard to solve it ,but can not find the solution. Please guide me for this as you seems to be experienced to this problem.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the responses. paulc, let me tar and gzip and let u know an online location where you can pick up and test.

Maybe Blastwave can help.

I'd be willing to test this

paulc — Fri, 28 Jul 2006 17:14:51 +0000

I'd be willing to test this if you want to tar up those two directories, gzip and email them to me (or put them online for a download since that'd probably be a huge email)

hey guys -

How can i package the binaries for erlang and ejabberd from my Solaris 5.9 system ? I have compiled both from source but need to use ejabberd on another such Solaris 5.9 system and don't want to go through compilation again. Can someone tell me which folders the binaries lie (and if any files are referenced where the actual file resides) ?

Thanks a lot!

I don't know about Solaris. But this idea may work:

You compiled Erlang on /home/rsonak/erlang, and ejabberd on /home/rsonak/ejabberd, and later you made 'make install' or similar. Right? If so, you could copy those dirs to the other computer, and simply execute 'make install' again there.

Please help!! How can i package binaries ?

Thanks to info given by badlop in the following thread:
http://www.ejabberd.im/node/260

I installed OpenSSL (although i do not plan to use it), recompiled Erlang and voila, ejabberd started up without any issues. I am now going to try connecting to it and do some tests.

Can someone help me with how i can package the binaries ? I am assuming i shall also need to package the binaries for Erlang in addition to ejabberd.

ejabberd 0.9.1 start fails

rsonak — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 22:43:51 +0000

I switched to ejabberd 0.9.1 and got around the make error above, next i got errors doing a make install and so manually did copying over of various folders like what the install does. Now getting the following error:

***********

Error when running make while compiling ejabberd 1.1.1

rsonak — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 20:51:00 +0000

Thanks for the above comment. I have gotten around that and was also able to compile Erlang successfully. I tested that installation by running "erl" at the prompt and it shows me the Erlang emulator prompt. Next i started compiling ejabberd-1.1.1. I ran the "./config --disable-tls" command to configure ejabberd and am getting the following error when running "make":

No 'ar' command found

legoscia — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 07:28:59 +0000

As spelled out, you need ar. On my system, it is in /usr/ccs/bin, so you could try adding that to PATH. Maybe you have to install an additional package.

Getting an error compiling Erlang/OTP R9C-2

rsonak — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 00:54:21 +0000

Hi guys,

I was unable to find the binaries for Solaris so i have started compiling them but first need to also compile Erlang. I have installed GNU make, GCC, libexpat 1.95 or higher and IConv. I get the following error when trying to compile Erlang:

*********
configure: error: No 'ar' command found in PATH

or erl_interface/.

Thanks a ton!

If you find them, tell me

mfoss — Fri, 21 Jul 2006 11:14:35 +0000

If you find them, please tell me so I add a link to them on the Download page. If you don't find them, you will have to compile it.
