Hi, I usually don't compile and install tzcode, and simply use the latest tzdata and compile the zones I need with the zic that my OS has... This has worked for linux and Solaris... or at least as far as I remember... now I wanted to use the "right" zones on a Solaris 9 machine and found that the zic that comes with Solaris doesn't support the "-L" option... So I downloaded & compiled tzcode (only adjusted the "cc = cc" line for using gcc). Everything went fine, I didn't install the software (it is in my home directory), but I ran: zic -d /usr/share/lib/zoneinfo/right -L leapseconds northamerica and it generated a new set of zone files in that directory. However, setting TZ to right/America/Mexico_City works exactly the same as if it were America/Mexico_City (i.e. I have _no_ 22 seconds difference). My (uninformed) guess is that maybe the old libraries cannot understand leap seconds although they are compiled in the zone files... I have a couple of questions: Am I completely off-base? :-) How could I replace the old version of the zoneinfo database, tools and libraries with a newer one? Browsing the Makefile, I see that the distribution of files is quite different from the one that appears to be standard in Solaris. Does anyone know of a ready-made Solaris 9 package I can use? I don't even know how to "uninstall" the default libraries or which files are involved... they don't appear to have the same names... This is a production machine and I wouldn't like to break it just to set the clock right :-) Any Solaris+Olson expertise would be greatly appreciated.
