iperf on solaris 9

trying to get iperf to run on solaris 9.. downloaded and installed gcc 3.4.6, libiconv 1.13.1 and after a little trouble, was able to make the file and install it. when i go to run it (iperf -s) i get a 'pthread_create failed' twice.

found a copy on sunfreeware.com and tried to install that package and ran in to the same problem. not really sure where to begin troubleshooting.

im not really a *nix guy, i was just asked to do some network testing, so if you could be detailed that would be very helpful. Thanks
