This is not really a problem; plenty of people of running GRASS under
Solaris 2.3 (I can't speak for 2.4), and compiled executables are
available if you do not care to compile yourself (of course, missing out
on all of the good contributed code :-) ).

Currently, the only way to run GRASS on a PC is to install some version
of UNIX (or a clone). Many people seem to be using Linux, a public domain
UNIX clone, with GRASS on PCs. See this list for other references to
this. In September, LAS Inc. of Quebec is supposed to be releasing a
commercial version of their tcl/tkgrass product, which includes a very
nice GUI with GRASS, for MicroSoft Windows. This will _not_ be free.
