failing to compile on solaris 7

# ./configure.client

Configuration script for Xymon client

This script asks a few questions and builds a Makefile to compile Xymon

Checking your make-utility

Xymon normally keeps all of the client configuration files
on the Xymon server. If you prefer, it is possible to use
a local client configuration file instead - if so, answer
'client' to the next question.
NB: Local configuration requires the PCRE libs on each host.

Server side client configuration, or client side [server] ?
