Hi, I think this is just due to the link order in: Creating shared library ../../lib/sun4x_58/libXrdOfs.so CC -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -KPIC -DSUNCC -D_REENTRANT -mt -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -fast -xarch=v8plus -DXrdDEBUG=0 ../../obj/sun4x_58/XrdOfs.o ../../obj/sun4x_58/XrdOfsConfig.o ../../obj/sun4x_58/XrdOfsHandle.o -G -lposix4 -lsocket -lnsl -L/lib -lpthread -ldl -lCstd -L../../lib/sun4x_58 -lXrdAcc -lXrdOss -lXrdOdc -lXrdOuc -lXrdXr -o ../../lib/sun4x_58/libXrdOfs.so The system libraries are before the Xrd ones. If I flip LIBS and MORELIBS around, i.e. Creating shared library ../../lib/sun4x_58/libXrdOfs.so CC -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -KPIC -DSUNCC -D_REENTRANT -mt -D _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -fast -xarch=v8plus -DXrdDEBUG=0 ../../obj/sun4x_58/Xrd Ofs.o ../../obj/sun4x_58/XrdOfsConfig.o ../../obj/sun4x_58/XrdOfsHandle.o -G -L../../lib/sun4x_58 -lXrdAcc -lXrdOss -lXrdOdc -lXrdOuc -lXrdXr -lposix4 -lsock et -lnsl -L/lib -lpthread -ldl -lCstd -o ../../lib/sun4x_58/libXrdOfs.so With this change xrootd starts and loads the libXrdOfs.so library on sol8. I think this might be backwards in other places, too. I'll check systematically and if nothing comes up I'll make a new version. BTW, the --enable-echo is already useful... I guess the linker in sol8 (i.e. Workshop 6) was still a single pass linker? (I hope a particularly nasty place in Hell is reserved for the Sun marketing people who keep changing the name of their stupid, slow compiler.)
