Probably - and often questioned - Solaris do not have GNU Tools. Compiling fails
if you use build in Solaris tools like nroff, or cc instead of GCC. Change this,
install GNU software, check for $PATH when calling "sh  ./configure". This
should work. An adress for precompiled or usefull software round solaris is
<http://www.sunfreeware.com>. Look for the right Solaris version (2.7, 2.8 ...).

My system:

admin-1:ecaroh,10% pwd
/opt/gnu/gcc-2.95.3/bin
admin-1:ecaroh,11% ls 
c++      chill  g++  gcc  gcjh  jcf-dump  protoize                  unprotoize
c++filt  cpp    g77  gcj  gcov  jv-scan   sparc-sun-solaris2.6-gcc
admin-1:ecaroh,12%

I have installed gcc and all necessary tools and libraries, it works fine.

	Bye, Ecaroh
