pkgrm; rm -r

Only if you put it there.  I did not.  I installed SFWgcc in order to be
able to build gcc-3.2.2.  Once I had gcc-3.2.2 installed I had no more use
for /opt/sfw.
 
Libraries compiled with gcc-2.95.3 are incompatible with binaries built
with gcc-3.2.2, and I cannot afford the license for Sun's compilers.

/opt/sfw does not exist.  You have my PATH in the .bashrc file which I
sent you.  For others it is:

[duhring]$ echo $PATH
/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:
/usr/sfw/sbin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:
/usr/sfw/share/texmf/bin:/usr/sfw/netpbm/bin:/usr/ucb


[duhring]$ ls /opt
Acrobat5  OpenOffice  RealPlayer8  SUNWits  SUNWmlib  SUNWrtvc  build 
kde  lost+found  mozilla  qt3  source  temp  tmp

You will see from the 3 files which I sent you that emacs can indeed be
built on Solaris 9 SPARC.  No way in hell I could be bothered to fake all
that ;-)
