            Hi,

      Methods that you and jmcp suggested are not giving me any results
        So I've decided to start from scratch and try using 
"SunStudio12" and sunstudioexpress" ,like,  the docs from openofffice 
states to use if
        the "gcc-linker" error pops up:

 From OpenOffice Howtos:

Error: GCC Linker

checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of executables...
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking for gcc... /usr/bin/gcc
checking the GNU gcc compiler version... checked (gcc 3.4.3)
checking gcc linker...
configure: error: failed (not GNU ld). Use GNU ld instead of Sun ld on 
Solaris


FIX: linker error with GCC on OpenSolaris


searching this phrase, there is a conversation from a mailing list which 
details the exact cause, and only offers the suggestion of using Sun 
Studio to fix these problems

* the easiest way I found was to simply create the CC and CXX 
environmental variables:

         CC=/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/cc
         CXX=/opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/CC
