Problem installing on Solaris 2.9.

[Rolf Turner]

The configure step appears to procede without problems.  However I
get an error in the make process (using GNU make 3.80), which appears
to arise from the quit.h file in libcruft/misc.  If I go to that
directory and do an independent make there, I get

===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===+===

quit.o

Looking in quit.h, line 27 is

        #include <new>

It looks to me like ``new'' is a string that should have been
substituted for (in the configure process?) but for some reason
that didn't happen.

Am I on the right track?  If so, how can I persuade the correct
substitution to take place?

                                cheers,

                                        Rolf Turner
