Re: Still can't build 21.0-b46 on Solaris
I built XEmacs for the first time on Solaris 2.5 this past week and it
went trivially with two minor problems: The X11 search path in
configure puts /usr/local/X11 ahead of the standard libraries in
/usr/openwin/lib, but links from /usr/openwin/lib leading to runtime
errors if a newer X11 is in /usr/local. I fixed this temporarily by
forcing /usr/openwin to the front of the search path. The only image
type I could make work was xpm, however without access to a Sun
console I was displaying on an Intel Linux/XFree86 server. Is this
supposed to work?[1] All of the image libraries were hand-built against
X stuff in /usr/openwin.

No offense, but this is almost comical. :-) I think you have more
problems with XEmacs than all other Solaris users combined. I
recommend starting from scratch with an OS re-install and dumping the
system in the garbage if that doesn't work.
Footnotes:
[1] Doesn't work means the colors came out psychedelic. The image
didn't appear to be rotated and/or reversed, but all the colors were
wrong.
