[Xorp-users] Failed to configure on solaris 2.9 sparc

Currently Solaris is not supported (see xorp/BUILD_NOTES for list of
platforms that can be used to run XORP).

The particular test inside configure.in is whether it can find a
directory like ${xr_cv_openssl_prefix}/include/openssl (e.g.,
/opt/bd/libopenssl097/include/openssl in your case), and whether
that directory contains file md5.h. Furthermore, it checks whether
there is a library ${xr_cv_openssl_prefix}/libcrypto* or
${xr_cv_openssl_prefix}/lib/libcrypto* and whether that library
contains function MD5_Init().

This should give you some idea where to start looking for the
problem.
