[Box Backup] Solaris 10 attempt continues . . .

Hi 

It's been a month, but I finally got back to Box
Backup on my Solaris 10 system. Thank you very much to
Martin and Rob for their suggestions; I did get much
farther this time.

I ended up uninstalling the SUNW packages for all the
dependancies and using # pkg-get install gcc3 openssl
gmake readline  like Rob suggested. Well, he didn't
suggest I remove the SUNW 

ones, that was my bright idea, and I found out you
don't want to uninstall the SUNWopenssl packages
because removal of one of them made pkginfo pkgadd
pkgrm and pkg-get all break. Then I had to extract
some libraries from the Solaris CD with cpio which is
why this took a while. 

But anyway, here's the procedure that Rob reccomended;
it mostly worked . . . 

# mkdir /tmp/boxbackup

# cd /tmp/boxbackup

# export 

PATH=${PATH}:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/csw/gcc3/bin:/opt/csw/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/local

/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/opt/gnome/bin

# /usr/sfw/bin/wget
http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/boxbackup/boxbackup-0.09.tgz

# gunzip -c boxbackup-0.09.tgz | tar -xf -

# /usr/sfw/bin/wget
http://www.fluffy.co.uk/boxbackup/bin/boxbackup-0.09-solaris.patch

# gpatch -p0 < boxbackup-0.09-solaris.patch

# pkg-get install gcc3 openssl gmake readline

# export MAKE=gmake

# cd boxbackup-0.09

# ./configure openssl:/opt/csw link:-lsocket
link:-lnsl

# gmake

# gmake test


OK, the test is where things got hairy again. 

common: PASSED
crypto: PASSED
compress: PASSED
basicserver: PASSED
raidfile: FAILED: 3106 tests failed
backupstore: PASSED
backupstorefix: PASSED
backupstorepatch: PASSED
backupdiff: PASSED
bbackupd: FAILED: Exception caught: Common OSFileError
(Error accessing a file. Check permissions.)

I don't have RAID drive arrays if that matters. I'll
include the full output of configure, gmake, and gmake
test at http://www.neoprimitive.net/~dosadi/boxbackup/
. I tried looking up the errors from gmake test but
didn't encounter anyone else who had gotten those
errors. 

For now I broke down and put Box Backup on a FreeBSD
system, I just can't quite get it on Solaris 10. I'm
wondering if the test is erroneous or if it's really
not quite working. I stopped short of gmake install
since I wasn't sure and it looked like it was not
working right. 


-> link to output of ./configure

-> link to output of make or gmake (same result)
http://www.neoprimitive.net/~dosadi/boxbackup/make.txt

-> link to output of make test or gmake test
http://www.neoprimitive.net/~dosadi/boxbackup/make_test.txt


Can anyone provide advice? Should I just try "make
install-backup-client" and "make
install-backup-server" and see if it works? Thanks
again for your help!

Nicole
