Re: [X10-developers] Support for Solaris?

Hi, Richard,
If you're trying to build from the 1.7.4 release sources, they are not
Solaris-friendly. The SVN HEAD contains some fixes for Solaris/Sparc,
including a fix for the problem you've encountered.
I'm glad you found an excuse to acquire new (and valuable) skills. :-)
Please keep us posted with the progress you make on Linux.
Igor
