Problems building grep

[Jonas Karlsson]

I'm trying to build grep-2.5 on an Ultra SPARC 60, with Solaris-2.8.

1. When building with
  ./configure --prefix=/import/gnutools-200208/sparc-sun-solaris2 
  
  make
  
  grep fails to run because it can't find libpcre.so.0 (which is not
  installed).  
    ./configure --prefix=/import/gnutools-200208/sparc-sun-solaris2
  --disable-perl-regexp 
  solves this problem.  However, I saw no documentation for the
  --disable-perl-regexp option to configure, or any mention of the
  need for libpcre.so


2. In addition, the compilation fails while trying to build
   grep.info.  I have makeinfo-1.68 installed.  I also thought all
   packages are supposed to come with the info files already
   generated?

3. After building, make check fails completely, until I 
   chmod 755 tests/*.sh

4. After that 
   Spencer bre test #16 failed
