When compiling programs in Solaris you may find you recieve the following error (or something along the same lines) complaining about grep.
The easiest way I found to get around this issue is to link grep to egrep. You can do think by using the following commands :
find / -name grep -exec rm {} \;
for i in `find / -name egrep` ; do echo ln -s $i `echo $i | sed ‘s/egrep/grep/g’` ; done
These commands will create a soft link (grep) to your egrep binary.
