I've been trying to install Top on our Solaris box but it's giving me some trouble.

The uname -a command shows

SunOS servername 5.9 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250

I downloaded Top form www.unixtop.com.

On the initial install I got errors because I didn't have a C compiler installed.

So I downloaded GCC from Sunfree and also downloaded the libiconv library as the site suggested.

I used pkgadd to install both of these.

When I try to configure Top after these packages had been installed, i.e. try to do "make" or "make install" I get the following error messages...

We are done with the questions.

Any ideas on what the problem here is?

What am I missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:

Can anyone tell me why its looking for top.o when it has clearly deleted all files ending with that extension i.e.

Doing a "make clean".
rm -f *.o top core core.* sigdesc.h

I have done a find from root on all files ending in a .o extension and there is no top.o ...

Curious eh?
