Are you saying I need to install gmake? Rather than use GNU Make?

What happens when you use GNU make, without the silent option?

Solaris

8 might not have gmake installed, I don't recall.
You have two versions of make on newer Solaris installs.

Example:
[root at somehost:~]# which make gmake
/usr/ccs/bin/make
/usr/sfw/bin/gmake


Try gmake after you run configure.

The problem is certainly a Solaris vs Xymon code.

Installation
============
Building the client package requires a working C compiler
and GNU make on the target platform. None of the extra libraries
needed for building Xymon are used by the client - so a
plain C compiler installation with GNU make is all that is
needed.

To build the client:

       - create a "xymon" userid on the system
         (not required, but recommended).
       - extract the Xymon source archive
       - cd to the xymon-X.X directory
       - run "./configure --client; make"
       - as root, run "make install"

The client installation is kept entirely within
the "xymon" users' home-directory. All client-related
files are in the ~xymon/client/ directory. If convenient,
this directory can be copied directly to other systems
of the same type, so you need not build the client from
source on all systems.
