Well, you have the basics, so this shouldn't be rocket science. > I?m running Open Solaris build 73 on AMD64 Opteron (Ultra20). > > I downloaded the prepackaged builds of qemu (?QEMU CVS Code drop ? > 2007/06/12?) > and kqemu (?KQEMU CVS Code drop ? 2007/05/20?).

However I got this error: Untarring it to /opt is a bad move. if you are intending on installing it there, then you need to put the source somewhere else. > ERROR: "gcc" either does not exist or does not work Did you bother to read the "Building QEMU on Solaris" page on the opensolaris.org QEMU project page. It tells you how your path is supposed to be configured. see: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/qemu/host/ > Any hand-holding would be TREMENDOUSLY appreciated.

It's hard to tell. > Certainly I'm not expecting equivalent performance, but fair? With the KQEMU module, you should get fairly good performance, unless those application are very graphics intensive, given that QEMU only supports VESA and the CIrrus Logic GDM5446. Ben
