I also tried the above code on our SparcStation 20 (bi-processor)
running Solaris 2.4, and got exactly the same error as Michael. I'm
ashamed to say that I never tried scsh's networking code before.

SunOS 5.4 is indeed Solaris 2.4, as strange as it may seem. In fact,
SunOS 5.x is simply Solaris 2.x... So the configure script was right.

To convince yourself, you might try a "uname -a" on your Solaris
system, and you will get something like:

SunOS disun19 5.4 Generic_101945-32 sun4m sparc

(which is what I get here).
