Problem building garnome 0.24.2 on Solaris 9 - HELP needed

[Eric Damphousse <ericdamphousse darwingroup net>]

Hi all,

I just got garnome for the first time and I am having trouble building 
it. I am currently trying to build this on a Solaris 9 platform, which 
has Gnome 2.0 (built by SUN). I did some search on the NET and nothing 
has elucidated the problem. The compiler used is gcc 3.2.3

I have updated the gar.conf.mk file to what I think is right..... only 2 
lines needed to be updated and are as followed:

Change 1
#GARCHIVEDIR = /home/jdub/src/cvs/gnome/garnome/DOWNLOAD
GARCHIVEDIR = $(HOME)/Projects/garnome/DOWNLOAD

Change 2
#FILE_SITES = file://$(FILEDIR)/ file://$(GARCHIVEDIR)/
FILE_SITES = file://$(FILEDIR)/ file:///home/ericd/Projects/garnome/

The error I get is as followed:

Note the error 255, why is that?

Any help would be appreciated,
Eric
