What we are using is: SunOS opensolaris 5.11 snv_101b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris Jim> I can’t get the binary dist to startup.

What does this say for you: nm /lib/64/libc.so | grep strnlen I get: 000000000007aad8 T strnlen (The important thing is the 'T' above).

Can you check if you have the file strings/libmystrings.a exits for you ? If not, try to do: cd strings make Does this work ?

Use is subject to license terms. Assembled 19 November 2008 So it looks we have an incompatiblity between OpenSolaris and Solaris, which could explain the binary problem. However the compilations should 'just work'. If you can help us figure out what's wrong, then we can try to fix the configure/make script to solve it.
