Sorry if this ends up as a duplicate post, but I think that my first try
did not go out.

I am trying to build the latest mozilla on Solaris 8 with Sun's
C++ 5.8 2005/10/13. When it gets to the xpcom part I get the following error:

Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
void*operator new(unsigned,void*) ../../dist/bin/libxpcom.so
void operator delete(void*,void*) ../../dist/bin/libxpcom.so
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to nsIFileEnumerator


Note that it is looking for a 'new' and a 'delete' with two arguments. If
I switch to Sun's CC: Forte Developer 7 C++ 5.4 the above undefined symbols
do not occur. If I then check libxpcom.so for 'new' and 'delete' I find
them with just one argument which can be found. Did I do something wrong
when I installed C++ 5.8 2005/10/13 or do I need some special library?

Apparently, you forgot to install the required OS patches. You can find a
list here:
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/...1_patches.html

The two symbols you are missing should come with recent enough versions
of patch 108434 I believe.

That was it. I had downloaded a new version of that patch some time ago,
but I forgot that I forgot to install it.
