Loading/Updating Solaris can error with “Building of realfuser failed”

This is likely to be down to the version of compiler being used with incompatible header files for Solaris 10.

This typically occurs as a result of an older version of GCC being used which has been built for Solaris 9.

Solaris 10 delivers a compatible version of GCC out of the box and it's this that should be used.

You can find the path to the compiler being used in Reality in /usr/realman/ver/files/build.conf
   Look for the line which reads 'CcProg=…'           Where ver is the current version, e.g. 14.0, 15.0
   Modify this line to read 'CcProg=/usr/sfw/bin/gcc'
   Rebuild Reality, which should now build fully.
