The compiler used must be capable of building kernel modules for the target
platform.
- libc
- kerberos 5

With `pkgutil` installed, install the necessary packages;
- $ sudo pkgutil --install git
- $ sudo pkgutil --install gmake flex bison automake autoconf libtool
- $ sudo pkgutil --install libkrb5_dev libncurses_dev
+ $ sudo pkgutil -y --install git
+ $ sudo pkgutil -y --install gmake flex bison gsed automake autoconf libtool
+ $ sudo pkgutil -y --install libkrb5_dev libncurses_dev
+
+Note: Is a perl devel lib needed on solaris?
+
+#### Solaris 11 ####
+
+Install [SolarisStudio][1] using the `pkg' command. You will need an SSL
+certificate and key, which can be created using your OTN account. See the instructions
+on the Solaris Studio download page.
+
+(Alternately, install Solaris Studio from the tar file installer, and then find
+and install any missing dependencies.)
+
+Use the `pkg` tool to install the other necessary packages:
+
+ $ sudo pkg install git
+ $ sudo pkg install text/locale
+ $ sudo pkg install gnu-coreutils gnu-binutils gnu-sed
+ $ sudo pkg install make flex bison
+ $ sudo pkg install automake autoconf libtool
+
+If you have dependency issues with automake, try automake-110
+
+If you have installed Solaris Studio via the tar file, you may need to install
+the `system/header' package manually:
+
+ $ sudo pkg install system/header
