I was actually referring to your code I saw when I did my research :)

I'll go ahead and try this.

You're absolutely right, since the build on Solaris/sparc+GCC went 
smoothly with just a couple of trivial issues.  I have tried both gcc 
and Sun's c compier and both are giving me different messages.

I'm working hard to get this builld done so I can get a package for 
blastwave.org so people can just pkg-get it. Thanks for your help.
