I think you can use MySQL with native threads on 2.5; If not, you can
always configure MySQL to work with MIT-pthread with:
./configure --with-mit-threads
(This works on Solaris 2.4.1 -> at least 2.6)

Are you using Solaris on Sparc or intel ?
The problem is probably that gtar-sparc.gz is compiled on Solaris
2.5.1
I did just now make available the following file:
ftp://www.tcx.se/pub/mysql/Downloads/Solaris/gtar-solaris-4.1.4-sparc.gz
Can you try if this works for you ?
(This works at least an 2.5.1)
Remember that you must unzip this before executing it!
Regards,
Monty
