I don't know what hardware you're working on currently, but why not install VirtualBox and then install OpenSolaris inside of that. It works fine and should compile things ok (might be a tad slow but it'll work). VirtualBox is free and you can grab it at: http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads When you install OpenSolaris, make sure you give the virtual machine at least 768mb of ram (more is better).
