I don't have that version installed any more, but as far as I remember,
I never had problems with Glib and Sun's 4.0 compiler. Note that the
current Glib version is 1.2.6, so I'd advise trying with that first.
And GTK+ 1.2.6, of course.

For some reason Glib types were not defined, but I don't know why.

On Solaris Glib uses Solaris threads. Posix threads are also available
on 2.5 and latter and the configure script should find what it wants.
Are you sure you have /usr/include/thread.h, /usr/include/pthread.h
and related things?

I never had to do anything about it, since the defaults just worked.
Maybe you have some bogus commands in your PATH. Or you don't have
everything you should have.

That's very strange. Could you try with version 1.2.6 and if it still
doesn't work post the contents of your PATH. And which shell you're using?
