Yes, strange indeed

I poked around and this seems to be the best solution:

-bash-3.00$ /usr/dt/bin/sdtwebclient --help
/usr/dt/bin/sdtwebclient[117]: getopts: help bad option(s)
Usage: sdtwebclient [-b browser] [-o browser_opts] url-string
-bash-3.00$ man sdtwebclient
No manual entry for sdtwebclient.

I will add the info to the ticket.

It is well hidden and I am not 100% sure if it is guaranteed to be
installed, but dt is installed with X on Solaris IIRC. At least we can
give it a try and see what happens  :)

Well, Sage on Solaris has been starting since about 2.8.14, so this is
nothing new to me. But I admit that having binaries is certainly much
easier for the user who does not want to root around in the innards of
Sage's build system for a couple hours ;)

Please let us know if you run into any more trouble. Note that this
build does not pass 100% of the doctests, so you will run into issues
that are for now build specific. Compared to the official 3.2.3
release you will also see different, but mathematically identical
results since this build uses the eMPIRe.spkg instead of the old gmp
one. Since we are switching in Sage 3.3 this will be a thing of the
past shortly.

Cheers,

Michael
