xpdf can be built on Solaris with the following sequence of commands.

	cd /usr/src
	gunzip xpdf-3.01.tar.gz
	tar xvf xpdf-3.01.tar
	cd xpdf-3.01
	./configure --with-freetype2-library=/usr/local/lib 
--with-freetype2-includes=/usr/local/include/freetype2
	make
	make install

On SPARC one could alternatively install Acrobar Reader from 
www.adobe.com.

Thanks,

   Andreas
