I am attempting to install Node.JS on Solaris. This is out of the box Solaris 9/10 x86 (September 2010 which is most recent) and using only default packages.
The directions I am following are here: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation. I am using the latest stable version of Node.JS found on their home page http://nodejs.org
Here is what I have tried...

Do I need to specify a different option to use C99 or to not use C99?
Again, this is out of the box Solaris 9/10 on x86. I have not done anything that would change any of the compilers or for that matter any other stuff that is installed by default.
