[Sipsak] Failure to build SIPSAK with SRV support dependency on Solaris 9

Hi, Nils.
 
I had a horrible feeling you were going to say that.  :(
 
I raised a bug report on the ruli site as they don't have a mailing list, but I'm not hopeful of much a response which is why I thought it worth a try mentioning here.  It's a real shame as the SIP network I plan to use sipsak with resolves it's main SIP domain using SRV.  :/
 
Oh, well - I have raised it with some people who are more knowledgeable with Solaris than me, who think I may have some success if I can install the Solaris IPv6 packages.  I'll see if they can get me any closer.

Thanks for the quick response, anyway!
 
Peter.
 
P.S.  I wouldn't have the first clue about finding a new DNS SRV lib unfortunately ... C programming is not one of my fortes which is why I've been struggling to get this far!
 
P.P.S.  In case it wasn't clear, I *did* manage to compile sipsak without SRV support on Solaris tho - but only after someone suggested the problems I was having with MD5 etc. errors were because the code needed to link with openssl 0.9.7 and not the default Solaris libs: it might be nice to mention that in the pre-requisites (I wouldn't've figured it out on my own).  Also, I could only get it to work with openssl 0.9.7 which I compiled from scratch - there's a nice Solaris package available for openssl 0.9.8 but I couldn't get sipsak to compile against that.  Also worth mentioning that on the site, perhaps?
