I am trying to compile Apache Open Office 4.1.15 from source because I can’t find a precompiled package for Solaris 10. I am running Solaris 10 x86. I am following the readme instructions in main. I first run autoconf to generate the configure file, then I run the configure file with its configure switches, though I have stopped using any switches for now because it’s just extra words and doesn’t affect the outcome currently. My processor is just an Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5700 @ 3GHz. I’ve tried searching for the error but I’ve come up empty handed, I don’t have much experience with building software from source.
Here is the terminal output:
