Thanks again Richard,
After about two more days of spending my free moments
on this I came up with a FAQ page for Solaris that
gives a list of packages necessary for the compiler to
run at all. Since I'm trying to build nessus on a
core install instead of the full install (which I
experimented on earlier) I have none of them. I'll
probably have time to do this today (good god I'm
busy) and if it works I'll put it into my little
solaris/suffer documentation piece.
BTW, #line 888 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
is exactly what config.log says gcc failed on.
Hope to have good news soon,
twigles
