Well, I'd been too lazy to report my problems thus far :-)

The header files seem somewhat broken; for example oobj.h includes 
"oobj_md.h", but it's not in the same directory, it's in a solaris 
subdirectory.

If the solaris stuff has been replaced with linux versions, I think the 
directory name should be changed.

I'll be working on this more sometime today, if I get it functional I'll 
report.
