hi there!
i am trying last days to install afni on our sun workstation (Solaris 8 s28_38shwp2 SPARC), but up to now without success...

first attempt:
binaries for solaris2.8

I get following message after executing afni command:
* Version check: [afni.nimh.nih.gov]

GPL AFNI: Analysis of Functional NeuroImages, by RW Cox (rwcox@nih.gov)

[[Precompiled binary solaris28_gcc: Jan 14 2004]]
Thanks go to M Belmonte for great efforts

Initializing: X11.... Widgets...... Input files:
** Couldn't open /export/home/albena as session OR as dataset!
*** No datasets or sessions input -- Dummy dataset created.
Time series = 0 files read
Fatal Signal 11 (SIGSEGV) received
*** Program Abort ***
=================================
before the program abort a new window appear every time, and also a logo with a photo of the afni group comes.

secondly i tried to compile the source with Makefile.solaris28_gcc... Compilation runs for some minutes, but then i get:
=====================================
gcc -O2 -ffast-math -DSOLARIS -DSOLARIS_DIRENT_ZERO -UUSE_TRACING -DDONT_USE_MCW_MALLOC -DBAD_BUTTON3_POPUPS -o 3dNLfim 3dNLfim.o -Wl,-E -L. -L/usr/dt/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib -s -lmri -lXm -lXt -lX11 -lm -lsocket -lnsl -lgen -ldl -lc
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: illegal option -- E
usage: ld [-abc:d:e:f:h:il:mo:p:rstu:z:B:D:F:GI:L:M:N:P:Q:R:S:VY:] file(s)
=====================================
and it is aborted...

the last thing i tried was to compile with some of the other Make-files (i tried both Makefile.solaris28_suncc and Makefile.solaris) then i get:
===========================================
/export/home/albena/afni_src> cp Makefile.solaris Makefile
/export/home/albena/afni_src> make totality
/bin/rm -f to3d.o
cc -fast -Xa -w -DSOLARIS -c to3d.c -I. -I/usr/dt/include -I/usr/openwin/include

License Error : Cannot find the license server (ultra80)
in the network database for product(Sun WorkShop Compiler C SPARC)
Cannot find SERVER hostname in network database
The lookup for the hostname on the SERVER line in the
license file failed. This often happens when NIS or DNS
or the hosts file is incorrect. Workaround: Use IP-Address
(e.g., 123.456.789.123) instead of hostname
Feature:workshop.c.sparc
Hostname:ultra80
FLEXlm error:-14,7.
cc: acomp failed for to3d.c
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `to3d.o'
/export/home/albena/afni_src>
=========================
the only license file i found was license.h and there i didn't find any SERVER line...

would you advise me how to proceed further?

thank you in advance!
