[Box Backup-dev] Missing libs when building on Solaris

Yes, dynamically.

Get the same problem on Solaris 7 and Solaris 10.

For example, on Solaris 10 I run:

./configure --with-ssl-lib=/usr/sfw/lib --with-ssl-headers=/usr/sfw/include

-bash-3.00$ ldd /usr/sfw/lib/libssl.so
        libcrypto.so.0.9.7 =>    /usr/sfw/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
        libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /lib/libsocket.so.1
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /lib/libnsl.so.1
        libmp.so.2 =>    /lib/libmp.so.2
        libmd5.so.1 =>   /lib/libmd5.so.1
        libscf.so.1 =>   /lib/libscf.so.1
        libdoor.so.1 =>  /lib/libdoor.so.1
        libuutil.so.1 =>         /lib/libuutil.so.1
        libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2
        /platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210/lib/libc_psr.so.1
        /platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210/lib/libmd5_psr.so.1

If I understand you correctly this should make nsl and socket libs
to be added "automatically"? Well, it does not seem to happen...
