Thanks!  I think I'll opt for the newer compiler!

I have run the " ./Configure solaris64-sparcv9-gcc" and followed up with the "make".  During the "make" process I see "gcc: unrecognized option `-pthread'" at the end of each command-line processed.  (see below)  I should tell y'all that this is a Solaris 10 OS on a Sun server.  The version of GCC that is installed is GCC 3.4.3 (also below).  My question is -- Will upgrading to the newest version of GCC correct these errors?  If not -- do you have any suggestions on how to correct them?

Ancient versions of GCC for Solaris only understand -pthreads not -pthread. More recent releases (anything since GCC 4.1 onwards) accept either option, with the same meaning.

So you could either adjust the build process to use -pthreads instead of -pthread, or update to a newer GCC.
