[Plib-users] Installation problem with plib 1.6.0

[<JR...@gr...>]

I try to compile FlightGear 0.9.2 on a Sun Ultra 60 with Solaris 8

I managed to configure, make and install Plib 1.6.0
(I got some error about missing #include <alloca.h> in one or to files)
make check and make install were ok.

I then tried to configure SimGear 0.3.3 and got the following message :

checking plib/ul.h usability... no
checking plib/ul.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: plib/ul.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: plib/ul.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: plib/ul.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to bug...@gn.... ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
checking for plib/ul.h... yes
checking for plib 1.6.0 or newer... wrong version
configure: error: Install plib 1.6.0 or later first...

If I go further, the config.log file gives me the following clues :

Someone can help me ?
