Hi all. I'll include my full original posting at the end, but basically
the problem was that I was getting syntax and no such file errors when
reading in include files in order to compile programs.
I inherited this machine only a few weeks ago, so I don't know exactly
what happened, but it looks like bind-4.9.x was either partially
installed or not de-installed properly. Afterwards I came along and
installed gcc. During a regular install, bind changes several include
files, and the fixincludes process of installing gcc doesn't "fix" all
of these files.
Running "pkgchk SUNWhea" uncovered one "incorrect" include file, which
also happens to be one of the files bind replaces. Once I copy that file
from the OS CD I should be good to go again.
In the interim, I received the two "missing" include files, which are
part of the bind distribution. I copied them into /usr/local/include,
modified the -I lines in Makefile(s), and I was on my way. IMHO, this is
a bit kludgy though, especially when I can put the original file back on
the system to fix the problem.
