Thank you for your reply, I did manage to get ekiga built using gcc after a lot of headaches, but the binary seems to indeed have some unexpected behaviour problems, I am rather new to Solaris (coming from a BSD background), can you explain what the vermillion is? Is vermillion a build of the entire OS or just a section of it? Would you be able to send me the build script you have for ekiga, I'd like to look at is as a learning guide, I'd like to learn more. I have sunstudio installed on this machine, though I find some things will build ok with sunstudio, others will only build with gcc. I was unable to get pwlib, opal or ekiga to build with the Sun compiler, but this is probably due to my lack of experience. Thanks again, Kind regards, Alex.
