See if Samba is included on the Software Companion DVD for Solaris 8. If it is there then install it using the provided package.

If you're installing from source, which I assume is what you downloaded, then this forum is not the place to get help. Instead seek assistance from a website or mailing list that is actually intended to support Samba.
