via the --with-CC option. On Solaris, the path is probably
something like "/opt/SUNWspro/SC4.0/bin/cc". If you have gcc
that will also work.
Q) When I run configure, it dies with the following error:
Fatal Error: config.cache exists from another platform!
Please remove it and re-run configure.
A) configure caches the results of its tests in a file called
config.cache to make re-running configure speedy. However,
if you are building sudo for a different platform the results
in config.cache will be wrong so you need to remove config.cache.
You can do this by "rm config.cache" or "make realclean".
Note that "make realclean" will also remove any object files
and configure temp files that are laying around as well.
