# which make
/usr/local/bin/make
which will tell you which binary is being run according to your path
statement. in this case, /usr/local/bin/make is gmake, the normal
solaris make is in /usr/ccs/bin

same on solaris. from man ln
-f Link files without questioning the user, even if
the mode of target forbids writing. This is the
default if the standard input is not a terminal.
-s Create a symbolic link.

As I've said before, I'm not a programmer. I just know that this fudge
will get
the program to compile. If a real programmer could fix this, I'd be
grateful.
setenv is not an option as its not supported under Solaris.
I'm not worried about the link failing but rather what I need to do to
get gnucash.pm and gnucash.so to compile successfully so I can do a
proper
make install. The link failing is because the file already exists, no
biggie.
thanks
