a few things... 1) you're probably going to need to install packages other than gcc. if you're using gcc, you should probably use the GNU binutils as well, rather than the one in /usr/ccs/bin there's a good list somewhere of things you need in order to compile stuff nicely on slowlaris. you'll want the sunos header files, the bundled ccs tools, bundled libc, bundled libm and bundled shared libm.... on solaris 8, you'd prolly want: SMCbinut SMCgcc SMClibgcc from the freeware site or installed from source. you may also want to install libiconv and ncurses from the sun freeware site or from source. and: SUNWbtool SUNWhea SUNWlibC SUNWlibCf SUNWlibm SUNWlibms SUNWtoo from the system. the package names may be different for 5.7; you might also want to look for a more complete list online. i think i had to do something like this: LDFLAGS=-Wl,-R/usr/local/lib ./configure --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local to get mutt to compile. i'm not sure if that's the right way to do it on solaris but it seemed to work.
