Hmm that would be a problem! I think what we had in mind was ensuring that our
custom 64bit packages (/usr/local/lib/sparcv9) were in the run path, while
assuming that /lib/sparcv9 was already there.

Sorry for the trouble, you've been a great help, but can you point me in the
right direction of a proper 64bit configure, or better yet, a multlib build
(than I only have to build it once! :) I know I had experimented trying to get
multilib working once already but it never happened. Either way, if it's not
possible on solaris at least getting a proper 64bit would be great. Our 32bit
seems to work fine.
