Building teTeX on Solaris 8

Hi all,

I have tried to install the teTeX package from sunfreeware.com. It did
not work for me. I finally decided to build it on my own. I downloaded
the sources and did

        mkdir -p /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf
        gzip -dc /usr/src/tetex-texmf-2.0.2.tar.gz | (umask 0; cd
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf; tar xvf -)

        cd /usr/src
        gzip -dc tetex-src-2.0.2.tar.gz | tar xvf -

        cd tetex-src-2.0.2
           sh -c './configure --prefix=/usr/local/teTeX
--disable-multiplatform >configure.log 2>&1' &
        tail -f configure.log

        sh -c 'make world >world.log 2>&1' &

This led to the following:

...
if test -f /usr/local/teTeX/bin/fmtutil; then \
   TEXMFMAIN=/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf
PATH=/usr/local/teTeX/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin://GNUstep/Tools://
GNUstep/Tools/sparc/solaris2.8/gnu-gnu-gnu://GNUstep/Tools/sparc/

gnu-gnu:/opt/GNUstep/Network/Tools/sparc/solaris2.8:/opt/GNUstep/
System/Tools:/opt/GNUstep/System/Tools/sparc/solaris2.8/gnu-gnu-gnu:/
opt/GNUstep/System/Tools/sparc/solaris2.8:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/
local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/apache/bin:/usr/local/ssl/bin:/
usr/ccs/bin:/opt/FrontBase/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin \
     /usr/local/teTeX/bin/fmtutil --all; \
else :; fi
fmtutil: config file `fmtutil.cnf' not found.
make: *** [install] Error 255

I searched for this file and got

# find /usr/local -name "fmtutil.cnf"
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf

Who has experiences with building teTeX on Solaris and can help me out?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Regards,

    Andreas
