The "make install" portion of the autotools install
fails on solaris 2.7 when it tries to perform symbolic
links because Solaris issues a complaint and fails:
Would you please see if you can modify the
make install actions to remove any existing symbolic links before attempting to install
new ones? This should fix the Solaris install problem.
Thanks,
Charlie

Hi Rorik,
The "make install" portion of the autotools install
fails on solaris 2.7 when it tries to perform symbolic
links because Solaris issues a complaint and fails:
zender@goldhill:~/bin/SUNMP$ ln -s -f ncbo ncdiff
ln: cannot create ncdiff: File exists
The same command works fine on Linux.
zender@ashes:~/bin/LINUX$ ln -s -f ncbo ncdiff
zender@ashes:~/bin/LINUX$
Would you please see if you can modify the
make install actions to remove any existing symbolic links before attempting to install
new ones? This should fix the Solaris install problem.
Thanks,
Charlie
I think I fixed this.

Yes, thanks, the Solaris 7 install works fine now.
