ld undefined symbol in file tesseract.so

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. launch autogen.sh
2. launch ./configure
3. launch make

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

when trying to compile running 'make', compilation stops suddenly with this 
error:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

tesseract 3.0.1 with leptonica 1.6.8 under Solaris 5.10 Generic_141444-09 sun4v 
sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200 Solaris

Solved! i added this libraries to LIBS var in Makefile:

"LIBS = -llept -lsocket -lnsl -lrt -lxnet"

and now it compiles and builds on Solaris 10 SPARC

I tried to change "LIBS = -llept -lsocket -lnsl -lrt -lxnet" but still got the 
same issue. 

Any idea?

Issue 915 has been merged into this issue.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The link to r895 is non operational and it still does not work automatically on 
SmartOS with the exact same errors as mentioned above without manually editing 
the Makefile.
