emacs and Solaris 9

[Bernhard Lange]

Hello, 

I want to install emacs21.1 on Solaris 9. I get an error-message. 
I have found it already in this newsgroup. But I don't know what I
have to do with the "patch". 

Thanks 

Bernhard

I think this is already fixed for the next version, but for now
please try this patch:

*** src/s/sol2-5.h 22 Nov 2000 10:37:31 -0000 1.13
--- src/s/sol2-5.h 17 Apr 2002 18:00:03 -0000
