You appear to be running the Psionic version which is no longer
maintained. This list pertains to the Debian native software that is a
fork of the original. See:

http://cvs.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/logcheck/debian/copyright?c=
vsroot=3Dlogcheck&rev=3D1.5

FWIW, this is because the compiler, (cc), was not found. Try installing
a compiler, (for example gcc from http://sunfreeware.com/), and running=20
make with "CC=3D<path to cc or gcc>".

Another option would be to obtain the version maintained by us,
http://alioth.debian.org/download.php/765/logcheck_1.2.26.tar.gz, and
try your luck with that. It's all shell, (bash), and perl so you
wouldn't have to worry about compiling a binary logtail. However, be
aware that our efforts are on Debian packages of Logcheck and an
installation on Solaris will be a manual process.

Hope this helps.
