OK, tried both the bash and the .cshrc you sent;
HOURS spent until I finally noticed that you
had /usr/sfw/, but solaris-NINE wants it in
/opt/sfw   (I believe that's who wanted it
there, not me).

Once I fixed that, at least it could run gcc;
however, no matter which of your suggested ways
I tried (starting with the huge rm almost each
time), I always got the same error:


...
...

checking for struct timezone... yes
checking for socket... yes
checking for netinet/in.h... yes
checking for arpa/inet.h... yes
checking whether system supports dynamic ptys... yes
checking for pid_t... yes
checking for vfork.h... no
checking for working vfork... no
checking for size_t... yes

Here's the part of configure that's involved:

# the C preprocessor to some helpful value like 1, or maybe the empty
# string.  Needless to say consequent macro substitutions are less
# than conducive to the makefile finding the correct directory.

Been up all night; must crash.

Any ideas?
