Thanks for your reply Glynn......see below my progress.....

6.0.1cvs, sorry about that typo.

Quick change fixes that one.
Didn't realise I should be changing that, sorry.

I think it's an issue between Solaris supplied 'libcurses' and 
non-Solaris supplied 'libncurses'.  I don't think that $(CURSES) is 
missing anywhere, I just think it hasn't been defined correctly for me.  
Will just this out once i've discovered if my hack works or not.

Oh, of course.  Must have been a long day, because I didn't spot the bit 
where it said "/opt/csw/lib/libGLU.so" which was Blastwave's MesaGL 
libraries instead of the Sun OpenGL libraries in /usr/openwin/lib.  I 
uninstalled the CSW mesa package and built again with success.

Once built, a couple of issues in trying to run......

1. The RPATH for the postgres libraries doesn't seem to have been 
included into the built binaries.  For me, simply a case of adding 
"-R/opt/csw/postgresql/lib" to LDFLAGS and building again.

2. Trying to run Grass, it starts up OK and I select my data set OK and 
then get the following error:

The file select.tcl is in the source tarball, so not sure why it has not 
made its way during install.


Thanks once again,
Ade
