This seems to depend on the OpenSolaris version. i added those lines about a year ago, and -lnsl wasn't needed on the Nexenta OpenSolaris i used at the time. i don't remember if it was an error to link against it, though.

at least following diff need to be applied. "lsocket" need to be typed as "-lsocket".

< # LIB += -lsocket

> # LIB += lsocket

Please apply following patch to Makefile. I tested on on Solaris 10(sparc and x86) and OpenSolaris 124 up to 130 revision.

This is the new patch for OpenSolaris 130, zlib need to be described in LIB variable.

Can you test with the latest version?

./configure; make

It should find and link against all the appropriate libraries.

No response from the OP, but it should be fixed.
