The university installed sun studio recently, and I tried the
instructions you gave me, and still don't know what to do...:
./configure: line 8482: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./configure: line 8482: `  echo $ECHO_N "(cached) $ECHO_C" >&6'

I might have made a mistake.  I am not so familiar with compiling on
solaris, and rely on the system administrator to install the packages
needed.

Is there a chance to post a pre-compiled binary for sun/solaris/sparc?
 That would be grand.
Or to post the source with your modifications to assure I did not make
a mistake?

Thank you.

-Adrian.
