In the midst of all of these problem postings, it's worth reporting
that I built gnucash 1.4.2 on Solaris 8/sparc without a hitch, and it
works perfectly.

Well done to Dave and the other developers for ironing out the
problems.  It's no longer necessary to use bash for the configure.
Can I suggest one other change to the "solaris.txt" advice file.  You
do need to "./configure --use-included-gettext" otherwise
internationalization doesn't work and the executabe is only useful in
the default locale.

Secondly, I'd like to have a shot at a script to fetch stock/share
prices from a UK server.  Is anyone who has done this for another server 
willing to give me a few tips (ie where to start!)?
