I have no idea what file should be provided to the patch command. I suspect the code is dependant on a version of gnu patch newer than Solaris 10 has installed as "patch". Solaris 10 does have a "gpatch" that appears to be gnu patch 2.5.4 . I suspect that one will work... well, not simply by making it earlier in the path. So, I grepped and found a note in README about setting environment variables.

Setting MAKE and PATCH got past the prompt, but now the tcl build fails, and the rest of the package attempts to build, but cannot find the info from tcl to successfully do so. Perhaps the script should stop if the Tcl configuration definitions are not created during the tcl build step.

Anyways, here's the problem with the tcl step:

then, things continue in the build script, hitting these errors:
