After testing Csuite on Linux installations, I now am trying to install
Csuite 1.1 [pre-release fc3 version - is 1.1 released?] on a Sun Sparc
system running Solaris 7 (2.7). The only "non-standard" thing is to
install to a /usr/opt/csuite on a large /usr/opt partition, rather than to
the default /opt/csuite.

I hit minor problems in csbuild when two Makefiles could not seem to
locate utilities "ar" and "size" in /usr/ccs/bin, even though they existed
there and /usr/ccs/bin is part of the SUPER-PATH listed in the csuite vars
file. I solved the problem by putting copies of both utilities in
/usr/bin. Then csbuild and csbuild2 ran to completion, and fired up Lynx
with the build.html web page.

However, I am having trouble getting past Step 1, System settings and Step
2, Site Configuration. The first time I ran Step 1, system settings were
apparently gathered, but when I go to Step 2, I am not allowed to proceed
until Step 1 is completed. The suggested Ctrl-R to reload doesn't help.

I briefly looked at the underlying system-conf and site-conf scripts, but
didn't see how or where they record whether they have run to successful
completion. If anyone can give me pointers on how to debug the problem, I
would appreciate it.

Also, if csuite has been installed partially, is there any way to force
csbuild to go back to the beginning, or to a particular point [such as
just after building bash]? I'm not sure how csbuild is keeping track of
the current state of the installation.

Thanks for any help
