I realize that is the problem and I can read just fine, I was following the FAQ published by Phil to enable State Top. The whole point of the question was in asking if I did something wrong as compared to what the FAQ said and looking for some guidance on where to go from there. It's obvious that the version of ncurses on the Solaris companion CD is 32 bit as well as the sunfreeware.com version. I downloaded the source code for ncurses and tried to compile it myself but could not get it to compile as a 64 bit library. Also, just for the sake of it, the drivers are the only thing that is 64 bit in IP Filter, the binaries themselves are 32 bit. In the end I used curses instead of ncurses. And I would like to thank you for your kind response, it was really refreshing.
I'm sorry if you found my response unhelpful, but your original mail said nothing about trying to get a 64-bit ncurses library, so I assumed your failure was due to ignorance of the problem.
Given that the error was with sparcv9/ipfstat, and that the problem was that your library wasn't 64-bit, I strongly suspect that your statement that user-space is 32-bit only is incorrect.
Compiling ncurses 64-bit isn't terribly difficult - I'm sorry you couldn't get it to work. curses should work just fine (I've never understood why it wasn't the default).
