That should be
#undef HAVE_SETENV
and NOT
#define HAVE_SETENV
I also forgot - you have to run
make clean
before you run make (because it's already compiled wrong).

I get the same error. I did go back and check my notes and the issue I saw 10 years ago is commented in the sunOs client build file.
> So I am sure something in my environment is wrong. Can I get a few eyes on this output from the make step and see if you can get me in the right direction? In all compiling a client should not need anything other than the configure client and make. Or if someone has a compiled client for sparc on solaris 5.8? J
