Hello,

I just wanted to post this fix action as Mailed to me from
Juergen Georgi as I received many off-line post of "did you
figure it out" and "please email me if this is fixed".

As it turns out (see example below) that a simple ln -s
resolves the problem.  Thank you Juergen.

Hi all,

I've just compiled 2.5.1p2 on x86 Solaris 8 and I did not get this error.
Has this person tried with the latest version?

2.5.1p2 on Solaris 2.6/sparc works for me without any patch.

The heart of the issue is the fact he has a /usr/local/include/config.h

Maybe we should resolve it by doing the following:

CPPFLAGS=@CPPFLAGS@ -I. -I$(srcdir)/openbsd-compat -I$(srcdir) $(PATHS) @DEFS@

to

CPPFLAGS=-I. -I$(srcdir) @CPPFLAGS@ -I$(srcdir)/openbsd-compat $(PATHS) @DEFS@

That would ensure that our directories are given priority over what
the user requests.
