Building Berkeley DB on Solaris

Hi,

I am trying to configure and compile db-4.2.52 on Solaris 8 using gcc. I
have slowly been finding packages I needed, either SUN packages or other
packages from www.sunfreeware.com.

Currently when I run configure, it eventually errors out saying it can't
find the off_t type. The errors in my config.log seem to indicate
something is messed up with regard to 64 bit support. Below is
information about my system, followed by the configure output. My
config.log file is attached. Any help you can provide is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks.
