dict vs solaris?

[Fletcher M. <fle...@cs...>]

Is this the right place to ask this question?

Is dictd-1.9.10 supposed to build on Solaris 8?  I get the appended
error very early in the make.  While it's easy to fix (configure didn't
check for getopt() correctly), more errors are generated later in the
build process.  This makes me wonder whether (a) dictd was never tested
on Solaris or (b) I have a very different Solaris environment than the
one it was tested on.

Thanks
Fletcher
