I don't know if this is still a problem for you, as I have no way to test it (I don't have a Sol 7 machine yet). However, I recently "turned off" the tests in the makefiles, because many Unix platforms are having a lot of trouble with several sets of tests. But, I'm not interested in tests until I have code that is worthy of testing. If you still want to play with tests, use configure --enable-tests. I'm going to save this bug for later.

reopening and marking FUTURE...

I hope this was reopened for a reason; it's over a year old and I really doubt that it's a problem anymore.

Blake: i presume you were doing a batch convert from later to future. For bugs like this it's not a good idea. I'm marking worksforme since I know it has compiled recently on solaris 6, 7 and 8.
