Hi Bruce,

Thanks so much for that. I don't know what to tell you as to why I'm getting
the error if you didn't. Maybe it's because I'm using OpenSolaris as opposed
to Solaris? That's the only thing I can think of and Tilghman's comment also
kind of hinted at that the Makefile and/or configure or the overall build
process needs to be smarter to tell when the system is being built for
Solaris or OpenSolaris. Also while searching for something else but a
related issue, I found another thread that had talked about successfully
compiling 1.8 beta on Solaris on Sparc. So there's definitely hope. But I
think this might be an OpenSolaris thing as even though I don't have the
sophistication of CBE and Sun Studio etc, I do have the reasonably
convenient VM snapshots to get a clean system whenever I want to and I can
tell you, there was NOTHING on this system other than a fresh OpenSolaris
install, and the gcc-dev package. Hmm

Anyway, let's see if the nice developers at Digium can find some time to put
in a fix for this so the product might become "buildable" over Solaris AND
OpenSolaris and people can then just go with the platform of their choice.

Cheers,
RR
