Apologies, Raymond, I forgot to Cc: the list.

I have both available ... in this instance I think it was going to use
gcc, as the workstation I picked didn't have the Sun compiler installed,
but that can be changed ...

Thanks, that would be great ... :)

I don't mind arsing about with it, but I was surprised that I came up so
short quite this soon ... it is working to the point where the updated
pkg_install tools are being built and compiled OK (using gcc), but as
you can see above it's having problems once it's used sudo to become
root to do the actual install ...

I will try again tomorrow to do the same thing as root and see what
happens. I'd prefer not to use root to compile things too often, but it
would be interesting to see if that solves the shell error I posted last
time ...

Thanks again,
Malcolm
