Dear Robert,

I am pleased to hear that someone is trying to use ng-spice under Solaris.
I have compiled ng-spice (non rework) under solaris 2.7 with gcc and it
worked. I have tried to compile rework 10 and got the same problmes. As
far as I know, I was the only one who tried to "port" ng-spice-rework
under Solaris environment, now I know that I am not alone.

For the warnings, they seems to come from bugs in the code. The different
version may depends on the exitence of those strings in the source
(conf.c) and in some other part. I am not the developer of the autoconf
interface so do not know. The multiple inclusion can be cleared with a
check over the code. The real problem is the asprintf, a BSD function,
introduced for varying lenght messages. I do not know how to substitute it
for non-linux environments.

Ng-spice is developed under Linux but, in my opinion, attention should be
paid to other platforms. GNU tools should be the only requirement.
Ng-spice-rework-10 does not compile under Solaris, I hope to fix the bugs
in rework-11 (I hope to have some spare time).  

Regards,
Paolo
