If typing "make test" results in an error message saying that -there are no "*.test" files, or you get lots of globbing errors, -it's probably because your system doesn't have cc installed and -you used gcc. In order for this to work, you have to set your -CC environment variable to gcc and your CPP environment variable -to "gcc -E" before running the configure script. - -2. Make sure that /usr/ucb is not in your PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH -environment variables; this will cause confusion between the new -Solaris libraries and older UCB versions (Tk will expect one version -and get another). - -3.
