Greg, show your configure options. I'm a Solaris man myself and while there's definitely some things that are harder to do on Sol than Linux and FreeBSD, etc. I've gotten all these things to build. Shoot some additional info my way and we can look at it. There's a few Solaris fans on this list... ;)
Also, I just sent an updated configure.in for Vpopmail5 to Ken. Solaris needs an additional -R compile flag so that libraries can be found in the executables without having to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in every env that can run the program. Unfortunately, the auth_lib files that configure builds didn't include that extra -R flag. Programs like qmailadmin use the auth_lib and auth_inc information so they know how to link in modules like mysql that vpopmail are using. So, even if your make had worked, you would have gotten an "unable to find xxxxx library" when you ran qmailadmin... (unless of course you jumped through all the hoops of setting that stupid LD_LIBRARY_PATH !!! :) I like the -R myself! Look for a new release from Ken with the fixed configure.in or I can send it to you.
