bld errors alpha.gnu.org emacs-24-r3 - is it pilot error?

bld errors alpha.gnu.org emacs-24-r3 - is it pilot error?

[Harry Putnam]

Setup:  Running a new install of OpenIndiana (A solaris offshoot)

Attempting to build emacs after trying to meet any requirements in
libraries on the OS.

I don't really see any reference to missing files or the like but, of
course this only the tail end of make output.
My inexperienced eyes are missing what the problem is.

I'm hoping and experienced hand will know what this output means.

I'd just install emacs with OS pkg system but the only available version
if the repo is 23.1... nearly an antique.

Posting it on bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org is better.  BTW have you tried the
24.3 _release_ (instead of the Release Candidate, although they are
nearly the same)?

Posting on bug-... assumes it is in fact a bug, otherwise just more
line noise.

I posted here hoping to hear from someone who might know... what the
output means.

So asking the question again:

Do you actually know answers to my question... that is, do you know
what the output means?

I'm not sure where to get the 'release' version...

The reference is to `tparm' and it is present in `terminfo.o'.
Looks like a bug in Emacs's autoconf or build.

You might be able to work around it by installing ncurses.

Thanks for answering and the suggestion.

I do have ncurses installed.  But finally got around the problem by
installing emacs using the csw (http://www.opencsw.org/)
tools. Instead of the default IPS (Imaging Packaging System)
intall/remove tools.

Sort of like building a different partial OS over on one side, so may
be some duplication... but seemed like a good chance to get a modern
functional emacs running... it installed emacs-24.3 and seems to be in
working order.
