Okay, status:

I can't compile ghostview worth a damn. *laf*

The bins that I've dl'd from Metalab
(http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/packages/solaris/sparc/)
.. seem to have an issue with the 'older' libs that I have on my poor 2.6
system.. even though it's a binary that is meant to run on a Sol 2.6 box.
Someone at Sunsite is on crack =o

# ldd /usr/local/bin/ghostview
        libXaw.so.6.1 =>         (file not found)
        libXmu.so.6.0 =>         (file not found)
        libXt.so.6.0 =>  (file not found)
        libSM.so.6.0 =>  (file not found)
        libICE.so.6.3 =>         (file not found)
        libXext.so.6.3 =>        (file not found)
        libX11.so.6.1 =>         (file not found)
        libm.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libm.so.1
        libsocket.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/libsocket.so.1
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
        libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/libc.so.1
        libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/libdl.so.1
        libmp.so.2 =>    /usr/lib/libmp.so.2
libXaw is apparently only one of many that I don't have (well, I have
older versions .. the ones that *ship* with Sol2.6) .. and 2.7 apparently.

What is 6.1/6.3 part of.. X11R6.4?
Is it even normal to want/need to compile it for Solaris 2.x?  What am I
going to break in doing so..?
