SPARC Solaris 10?

[Julian Field]

I'm still having trouble. I have tried your suggested command and it 
hasn't helped with the make.

This is the start of what I get, using gcc as I haven't got Sun's C 
compiler.

cc -c       -DVERSION=\"3.05\" -DXS_VERSION=\"3.05\"  
"-I/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/sun4-solaris-64int/CORE"   Base64.c
In file included from /usr/include/sys/signal.h:34,
                 from /usr/include/signal.h:26,
                 from 
/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/sun4-solaris-64int/CORE/unixish.h:106,
                 from 
/usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/sun4-solaris-64int/CORE/perl.h:1970,
                 from Base64.xs:33:
/usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:259: error: parse error before "ctid_t"
/usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:292: error: parse error before '}' token
/usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:294: error: parse error before '}' token
/usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:390: error: parse error before "ctid_t"

Any ideas anyone?
Please?
