-If
-
-- both the original solaris zcat as well as the recommended
-  GNU zcat are installed on the system (e.g. the former in /usr/bin and
-  the latter in /usr/local/bin) and 
-- configure (or "which zcat") finds the wrong one
-
-then configure needs to be told where GNU zcat can be found.
-
-Failure to do so will cause configure to select the wrong one
-and the "gmake install" command in the "doc" subdirectory
-(step 12 in the INSTALL file) will fail because Solaris
-zcat cannot handle the .gz compressed documentation files.
-
-To fix this, type
-
-# export GZCAT=/usr/local/bin/zcat
-
-(or wherever your GNU zcat lives)
-
-before running configure.

-1.3) Why am I getting "IpcMemoryCreate" errors when I try

-
-(See also 3.4 in the main FAQ file)
-
-Under Solaris 2.6 and probably others, the default shared memory
-maximum segment size kernel parameter is set too low. The solution
-is to put something like the following line into /etc/system and
-reboot the system.
-
-set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0x7fffffff

-1.4) Why am I getting "Can't tell what username to use" errors

-Put something like this into the .bash_profile startup script

-- Jose Luis Rodriguez Garcia
-  Suggested to change the shmmax parameter in 1.3 from 0xffffffff to 0x7fffffff
-  because the value is a signed integer in Solaris versions prior to 2.6.
