are you using gcc or SUNWspro cc?
if you are running a 64 bit kernel, then you must build your changer
software in 64 bit mode; this means you cannot use gcc, since gcc
doesn't do 64 bit (on solaris) yet.
also, have you seen the stctl package?
http://www.cs.pdx.edu/~eric/stctl/
written for solaris, i have been using this as my changer software
for several years, with both an exabyte 10-h changer and now a
compaq storageworks SSL2000 series AIT2 changer; i had to tweek the
timeout value for the Initialize Element Status command for the
exabyte 10-h, but other than that it has been working flawlessly on
solaris 2.6 and solaris 8.
cheers,
