Probably the most serious problem was caused by Solaris' annoying /bin/sh, and---oh, yes!---/usr/bin/grep doesn't know about a '-q' switch (which is called by the pdfTeX-inherited build.sh at the top of the build tree), Maybe this has already been fixed and I didn't see the mail, but FWIW, looking at metapost's build.sh (which I'm guessing is similar :), I see: if make -v 2>&1| grep -q "GNU Make" Taco, grep -q just isn't portable. Instead, just use redirection: if make -v 2>&1| grep "GNU Make" >/dev/null (Arthur or anyone, if there are such portability problems anywhere in the TeX Live build, please tell me.) karl
