I _DO_ compile but on solaris express, not S10. True, compiling on Solaris can be really painfull. The problem isn't Solaris itself, though, but rather a pitifull closed minded view of some open source developers towards other OSes than Linux. Don't start messing around with /usr/sfw/bin/gcc, Sun messed this one up pretty badly. Whorst problem: They used gcc, but decided to use their own ld, which needs other parameters that are of course not recognised by most OSS. I'd try Sun Studio 11 anyway, it's a great compiler and if the sources are well done it should be working flawlessly. (I once compiled an entire suite of software need for Plone/Zope with it.) As an alternative there's another package called "gcc for Sparc systems" (gccfss) available from her: http://cooltools.sunsource.net/gcc/ It's a relocatible gcc that can be installed anywhere, and that has been expanded to make use of all Sparc specific features. Didn't try it so far, but heard good things about it. > > I run cyrus imapd+MD+SpamAssassin in a mailzone. I use software > packages from Blastwave for this.

They are more current than the packages from sunfreeware.com, but are more error prone, though.
