I don't use solaris myself, but I remember this topic discussed on this
list before (try searching marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba).

You can download the package popt-1.7 for different versions of solaris on 
http://sunfreeware.com:
popt-1.7-sol26-sparc-local.gz The popt library is for parsing command line options - installs in /usr/local.

It might be that you have to adjust the path where libraries are
searched for to include /usr/local.

HTH,

wolfi
