Andreas:

Yes, you were correct. I did manage to get it to compile using "gmake
-i", but I added the configure flag you suggested, did a "make clean;
configure; gmake" and everything built just fine. Thank you for your
quick and accurate suggestion!

Someone on the build team should look into this and see what is
causing the problem on a Solaris system. Since /bin/sh is a true
Bourne shell here, there must be some incompatibility with the shell
used on Linux (assuming no one on that platform is seeing this problem).

I don't know how to migrate this discussion to the new groups, but I
will use them exclusively from this point onward.

Thanks again.

Regards,
