Here is what I found and how I solved it. First of all also thanks to Steven M. Christensen from Sunfreeware.com. Yes indeed Solaris 2.5.1 does not come with snprintf, Steve has packaged them on his site. Go ahead and install these first [vsnprintf is part of the package]. Then "perl Makefile" --> "make" you will get the same error. Cd to spamc and edit "Makefile" [can not do this before because make has not set this up yet] and add the flag "-lsnprintf" to LIBS = then run "make" again. It should now compile correctly. cheers
