Title: graphviz 1.7.7 fails to build on sparc/solaris 2.8
Submitter: Schneelocke
Date: Tue Dec 18 15:55:33 2001
Subsys: Other
Version: 1.7.7
System: Sparc-Solaris-2.8
Severity: minor
Problem:
graphviz 1.7.7 fails to build on a solaris 2.8 system. this is due to the usage of sys_nerr and sys_errlist in lefty/ws/x11/libfilereq/SelFile.c. the patch below fixes this problem for me, but it is untested, and I'm not a C programmer anyway.

Thanks for taking a look, and hope the patch does help indeed! If you need any further information or whatever, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Input: 

none.
