What does the 'config.log' say?  Does it indicate exactly what it is
trying to do or which compiler it is trying to use?

I've seen this error ("C compiler cannot create executables") when
someone has attempted to use the Intel compilers when they don't have
a license for them. I think that you might also see it if you are
missing some libraries.

But the log should provide at least some hints.

samba-3.0.23b-1-noads-sunos5.9-sparc.pkg.gz 

This is the current binary from samba.org.

The file name includes sparc so I am not sure this will run on an x86
platform of solaris?

Mark

I am attaching this to the previous email.  This is the error I get when
trying to start up samba.

Does this mean I am trying to run this binary on an x86 platform?
 
# ./samba start 
./samba: /opt/samba/sbin/smbd: cannot execute 
Samba daemon starting 
./samba: /opt/samba/sbin/nmbd: cannot execute 
NetBIOS daemon starting
