yes, because as far as i know, there is no Sun-provided fontconfig
package on Solaris 8, so i had to choose some 3rd-party package (from
blastwave), and since the latter is installed into non-standard
location (/opt/csw/lib), it will not be found unless i use
-L/opt/csw/lib -R/opt/csw/lib when linking.

i.e. the binary wouldn't work on Solaris 8 "out of the box" unless i
put the specific library location into the binary.

if you know of a more portable solution which will work on both
Solaris 8 and 10, please let me know.

Best,
