Well having spent a week on Solaris 10.. I can understand why.

If that's your only complaint then download the latest version of Nevada. Build 98 has a lot of the software you miss in Sol10. Not quite on OpenSolaris level but its a big step up anyway.
Oh, and make sure /usr/sfw is actually in your path...
Hmmm that might be my problem. I had not looked at what additional paths were there. The boxes I am supposed to support are 2.7,2.8,2.9 and 2.10 so I am going to have to figure out a way to 'unify' them as much as possible without breaking the core application's needs.
Linux/Sparc is fragile at best. Even Ubuntu/Sparc on a T2000 (a Sun certified configuration) isn't nearly as stable as Solaris on the same HW.
Sounds like it was back when Red Hat was shipping it in 5.x..
