checking for XOpenDisplay in -lX11... yes
checking for libXpm... configure: test: argument expected

Hello,

this is very unfortunate but the configure script on solaris is a bit
flaky.  What you have to do to compile AS on a solaris machine is:

 - if you do have libXpm on your system you have to give configure this
   argument --with-xpm-library=/path/to/where/it/is (it's probably
   /usr/local/lib or in some cases /usr/openwin/lib)
 - if you don't have libXpm you have to run configure with --with-xpm=no

 - the same applies to libjpeg and libpng, if you do have them then pass
   configure --with-png-library=/path/to/it --with-jpeg-library=/path/to/it 
   
 - if you don't have lipng and libjpeg, pass configure with-png=no
   with-jpeg=no.

Hope this helps! Good luck.

 Ralf Wierzbicki
