While this is getting fixed (or not), try getting Pyrite
Publisher. It's really good, and works :)

Yes, using Pyrite is a good idea, if you can install it easily.

Unfortunately, I have no Solaris machine to test these
things on, which means I have no way of really knowing why
it is crashing. I assume it has something to do with how
structures are handled (and the need for -fpack-struct), but
beyond that I don't really know.

If somebody else can debug this, I would be very interested.
