I checked the lists and found that I'm not the only person to have this problem - Unfortunately, the other person's solution was to revert to Solaris 8 - I really don't want to do that. The "make install" error is "command '/sgnome/tools/x86-solaris/forte/SOS8/SUNWspro/bin/cc' failed with exit status 2" trying to compile "src/hangul.c" - Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm only guessing as a workaround that might not work or might cause
other problems, but if you look at misc/Makefile in the unpack
directory, you'll see

SHELL=		/bin/sh
PYTHONLIBDIR=	$(prefix)/pythonlib
SETUPINSTOPTS=	--install-lib $(DESTDIR)$(PYTHONLIBDIR) \
		--install-purelib $(DESTDIR)$(PYTHONLIBDIR) \
		--install-data $(DESTDIR)$(PYTHONLIBDIR)
SETUPCMD=	setup.py --quiet install $(SETUPINSTOPTS)
PKGDIR= 	$(srcdir)

Try adding a line to SETUPINSTOPTS so it becomes

SETUPINSTOPTS=	--install-lib $(DESTDIR)$(PYTHONLIBDIR) \
		--install-purelib $(DESTDIR)$(PYTHONLIBDIR) \
		--without-extension \
		--install-data $(DESTDIR)$(PYTHONLIBDIR)
