I'm trying to install the current Tiff library on a Sparc 2 running Solaris 2.5. I'm not experienced at this, so advice is appreciated.

'Make' said:
if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I. -g -O2 -Wall -W -MT
mkg3states.o -MD

-MP -MF ".deps/mkg3states.Tpo" -c -o mkg3states.o mkg3states.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/mkg3states.Tpo" ".deps/mkg3states.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/mkg3states.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

/bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc  -g -O2 -Wall -W   -o

mkg3states
mkg3states.o ../port/libport.la -lm -lc

libtool: link: gcc -g -O2 -Wall -W -o mkg3states mkg3states.o ../port/.libs/libport.a -lm -lc ld: elf error: file ../port/.libs/libport.a: unable to locate archive symbol

table: Request error: offset out of range ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to mkg3states collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [mkg3states] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/ImageMagick-6.2.8/tiff-3.8.2/libtiff' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/ImageMagick-6.2.8/tiff-3.8.2/libtiff' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

My apologies if this is more about Solaris than Tiff.
