I did check out the link below, in which someone else has an error identical to mine, and Sinisa Milivojevic replied basically saying that the answer is described in detail in the Manual.
Well, I can't find it in the Manual. There are things somewhat related in the various Solaris sections, and I've tried them, such as adding -DHAVE_CURSES_H to the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, adding /opt/sfw/lib to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, and adding the flags suggested at the Solaris X86 section. None of these work; it always breaks in the same way at the same place. I appreciate that it's probably my ignorance that's preventing me from figuring this out, if it is indeed described so obviously in the Manual, but I've discussed it with someone who's very knowledgable about MySQL and he's stumped too. So I would be very grateful if anyone could explain to me what it is I'm missing. I seem not to have mentioned in my original post that I'm running gcc 2.95.2 and SunOS 5.8 on x86. Thank you.
