Hi!

Is there a way to get a UTF-8 compatible xterm on Solaris 8?
My xterm gets built fine here, but:

| % uxterm
| xterm:  bad command line option "-u8"

which seems to come from 

| grep -i i18n work/xterm-196/xtermcfg.h
| /* #undef OPT_I18N_SUPPORT */           /* CF_ARG_DISABLE(i18n) */

which in fact comes from

| % ggrep -m2 -A2 Xutf work/xterm-196/config.log
| configure:5325: checking for Xutf8LookupString
| configure:5353: gcc -o conftest -O -I/opt/local/pkg/include [...skipped dirs...]\
  conftest.c -lXaw -lXmu -lXext -lXt  -lSM -lICE -lX11  -ltermcap -lsocket  -lnsl 1>&5
| Undefined                       first referenced
| --
| Xutf8LookupString                   /var/tmp//ccQ8ExNk.o
| ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to conftest
| collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Any ideas/hints how to get that working? Are there any other utf8
aware terminal emulators available that work on Solaris systems?

Thanks, Rob.
