[Samba] Samba 3.0.8 compiles but fails to install

Greetings all!

I am trying to install the latest version of Samba (stable) onto a Solaris 
9 test machine.  I am getting errors when I try to start the deamons, but 
everything looks like it compiles and installs fine...

The errors are:

# /etc/init.d/samba.server start
ld.so.1: /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd: fatal: libpopt.so.0: open failed: No 
such file or directory
Killed
ld.so.1: /usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd: fatal: libpopt.so.0: open failed: No 
such file or directory
Killed


The libpopt.so.0 files in /usr/local/lib are as follows:

# ls -l libpopt*
-rw-r--r--   1 bin      bin       137464 Jan  8  2003 libpopt.a
-rwxr-xr-x   1 bin      bin          827 Jan  8  2003 libpopt.la
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         16 Oct 27 16:24 libpopt.so -> 
libpopt.so.0.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         16 Oct 27 16:24 libpopt.so.0 -> 
libpopt.so.0.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x   1 bin      bin       134696 Jan  8  2003 libpopt.so.0.0.0

Are these correct?

Please help- I am at a loss.

I have just tried to compile the 3.0.7 files and get the same 
results.  This machine was running the 3.0.2a package from Sunfreeware.com- 
it had no problems at all.

Thanks in advance!
