Unable to build BIND 8.3.1 on Solaris?

I have buildt pre 8.3 versions of BIND before, and usually not
had any problems.

However, I am now trying to build 8.3.1 for a brand new
Solaris (SPARC) server.  I am unable to get it to build.

I have (I thought) followed the directions to the letter, yet
no dice.

When I run ./configure --with-pam it goes fine.

Here's what I get when it starts to die during ./buildpkg.sh

# ./buildpkg.sh
Faking root install...
./buildpkg.sh: make: not found
Building pkginfo file...
Building prototype file...
Building package..
## Building pkgmap from package prototype file.
## Processing pkginfo file.
pkgmk: ERROR: parameter <VERSION> cannot be null
## Packaging was not successful.
pkgtrans: ERROR: unable to complete package transfer
    - no packages were selected from
</home/jheiden/ssh/openssh-3.1p1/contrib/solaris>


Any help is *GREATLY* appreciated.

My boss seemed to think I could set the server up, add all the needed
utils,
patch it, make it secure, and have BIND up and running in a few hours.
At this point, I'm a bit under the gun due to this.  =-(

Again, thank you much for any help you might be able to provide!
