Opesh,
Thanks for the additional output.
I noticed that you are building with an "-m64" option, which I assume
turns on 64-bit addressing. Because of this, you will additionally
need to add:
-DNGLONG2XINT
to the "StdDefines" line in your $NCARG/config/Sun4Solaris file.
You will then need to rerun "make Everything". I don't know if this
will fix the problem, however.
If the above doesn't fix it, then try further turning off optimization
with something like "-O0" in the HLU library Makefile; you can add
this to the line that has "-g".
If this still doesn't work, then let me know. We should probably
take this offline after this, until we get a solution.
Thanks,
--Mary
