These errors are from the first compilation attempt and won't go away.

These are from the second attempt. hstrerror() is obsolete, but I would

Not to worry though. I worked around solaris' shortcomings in the 
library department. I uploaded a new release today, so you might want to 
give it a shake and see if it works better.
