samba - Sep 2009 - Compiling 3.4.0 on SPARC Solaris 9

I've been trying to compile Samba 3.4.0 on a Solaris 9 server. However,
when I run configure, it is only creating a Makefile-noincludes, not the
standard Makefile. Looking at the config.log file, there are lines that
suggest that it can't find the libiconv libraries. These are installed
(version 1.11) in /usr/local so I tried re-running configure with the
option --with-libiconv=/usr/local. However, this also fails as conftest
now will not compile.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

3.4.1 was just announced earlier today.  One of the things it lists as
changed from 3.4.0 is:
   * Fix linking on Solaris.

Although that doesn't sound like the problem you're running into (I
don't think) it might be a good idea to try 3.4.1 anyway.

Also, perhaps if you paste the part of the config.log where the
libiconv test fails into your next e-mail someone will be figure out
what's wrong.
