Solaris 10 x86 nmap-3.75 build problems

[James Cliburn <jcliburn () gmail com>]

Happy New Year...

As a diversion over the holidays I decided to install Solaris 10 x86
on a spare Dell box.  I don't have much experience with Solaris and
wanted to poke around with it.  I downloaded nmap-3.75 source and set
out to build it for myself rather than use the packaged version at
sunfreeware.com.  (Actually, I downloaded the sunfreeware package (v
3.77), but it hangs when I run it.)  I've encountered some build
problems.  There are 2 issues.  I'd really appreciate a pointer in the
right direction.

First, some system particulars:

Compiler: gcc 3.3.2 installed as a package from sunfreeware.com

config.log:

ISSUE #1.  Configure seems to get confused about the presence of gtk;
it complains about its absence after first finding it earlier in the
configure cycle.  To wit (from configure's output):

...
checking for gtk-config... /usr/local/bin/gtk-config
checking If you have GTK+ installed... 1.2.10
configure: creating ./config.status
...
checking for gtk-config... /usr/local/bin/gtk-config
checking for GTK - version >= 1.0.0... no
*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...
*** The test program compiled, but did not run. This usually means
*** that the run-time linker is not finding GTK or finding the wrong
*** version of GTK. If it is not finding GTK, you'll need to set your
*** LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or edit /etc/ld.so.conf to point
*** to the installed location  Also, make sure you have run ldconfig if that
*** is required on your system
***
*** If you have an old version installed, it is best to remove it, although
*** you may also be able to get things to work by modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH
***
*** If you have a RedHat 5.0 system, you should remove the GTK package that
*** came with the system with the command
***
***    rpm --erase --nodeps gtk gtk-devel

ISSUE #2.  The second, and far more serious problem occurs when the
build fails to compile nsock_pool.c.  Behold:

The config.log sheds some light on this particular error.  It reports
a problem with ctid_t, indicating it isn't typedef'd anywhere, but I
found it typedef'd in /usr/include/sys/types.h.  Here's the relevant
portion of config.log.
