What version is your C compiler?  Is it Sun's own?  Is it gcc?
If the latter, then there are known problems when building or using
nhc98 with gcc-3.x.  We are thinking about how to fix that, but no
patch is available yet.

Otherwise, I know that nhc98 builds fine on sparc SunOS-5.6 and 5.9,
and I did build nhc98 successfully on an ix86-SunOS-5.8 machine about
six months ago.
