One thing that most likely should be noted is in the GLib README:
If you are using the native iconv implementation on Solaris
instead of libiconv, you'll need to make sure that you have
the converters between locale encodings and UTF-8 installed.
At a minimum you'll need the SUNWuiu8 package. You probably
should also install the SUNWciu8, SUNWhiu8, SUNWjiu8, and
SUNWkiu8 packages.
This is the most common problem I've seen reported about GTK+
on Solaris. (Of course, everyone should read the GLib INSTALL
document if they are installing GLib from source, but....)
I don't know if this applies to Solaris 9, but it's been reported
with Solaris 2.5, 2.6 and 8.
Regards,
Owen
