[Pdns-users] pdns_recursor: Solaris-8 compile problems, no root hints

[Juergen Georgi]

Hi,

in order to get pdns_recursor 2.9.20 compile on Solaris-8 (Sparc),
I applied the attached patch. However pdns_recursor isn't able 
to resolve any queries at all. On start it outputs:

Mar 22 14:02:28 PowerDNS recursor 2.9.20 (C) 2001-2006 PowerDNS.COM BV (Mar 22 2006, 09:00:51, gcc 3.3.2) starting up
Mar 22 14:02:28 Operating in 32 bits mode

Mar 22 14:02:28 : failed
Mar 22 14:02:28 Failed to update . records, RCODE=2

It doesn't matter if I configure a hint-file or not, pdns_recursor
thinks it hasn't any root hints. 

Maybe the patch broke something. But the same modifications
did work with 2.9.19, with a severe memory leak though.

Is anyone out there who has pdns_recursor successfully running
on Solaris 8? Any hints are welcome!

Thanks,
