 That's ok.

 You may wish to take a look at ANDIrand, though.

 Ok - same here.

 It looks to me like your gcc and your OS version are severly at odds. Why,
 if this is a sparc-sun-solaris2.8 system, is there some RedHat-based gcc
 installed?

 Also, this gcc has private includes for Solaris 2.5, and there will
 very definitely be conflicts with system headers. You're lucky you
 got it compiled somehow.

 Suggestion: upgrade to 2.95.3 and install it for Solaris 8. If you need
 to maintain versions for several different Solaris releases, I can give
 you some hints if you email me privately.
