This problem is due to the fact that when Socket6 builds on Solaris 8 and 9, 
it looks in the wrong place for inet_pton and inet_ntop, and wrongly 
concludes they are not available.

You can fix this by editing the config.h in Socket6 and adding the following 
lines:

/* Sol 8 and 9 really do have these in libnsl */
#define HAVE_INET_NTOP 1
#define HAVE_INET_PTON 1

and running 
make;make install 
again

Alas, Solaris does not implement the IPV6 gethostbyname2. We have now released 
a patch for Radiator so the absence of this function does not cause a croak.

Cheers.
