Daniel,

Yes I am running this on a 64-bit Solaris 8 (sparc) box. And yes your link
is working for me now, I tried that configure script and it's the same as
what I've got now from the last nightly build....any other ideas? or a way
to test the 64-bit theory?....anything else I can provide that would be
useful?

I'll give you some command line output that hopefully answers this...GDAL
was installed from gdal-cvs-040217.tar

# /usr/local/bin/gdal-config --ogr-enabled
yes
# ls /usr/local/lib | grep -i gdal
gdal.a
libgdal.1.1.so
libgdal.a
libgdal.la
libgdal.so
libgdal.so.1
libgdal.so.1.1.9
# ls /usr/local/include | grep -i gdal
gdal.h
gdal_alg.h
gdal_frmts.h
gdal_priv.h
gdalwarper.h
# ls /usr/local/bin | grep -i gdal
gdal-config
gdal_contour
gdal_translate
gdaladdo
gdalinfo
gdaltindex
gdalwarp


below is the configure output:
