OK, we have found the problem: your LIBS setting in the tcl/unix/Makefile
is incorrect for your OS.  Since this is created by a configure script,
it must mean that your special setup: "Solaris 10 U8 is installed under a
VirtualBox on Windows Vista" is causing the configure script to not
create the correct LIBS setting for the build.

Please do the following to see if it works:

<as 'mcidas'>

- edit the Makefiles in both ~mcidas/mcidas2009/tcl/unix and
  ~mcidas/mcidas2009/tk/unix and change the LIBS setting from
  what you show above to:

LIBS = -ldl -lsocket -lnsl -lsunmath -lm

cd ~mcidas/mcidas2009/src
make

Cheers,

Tom
