[Devel] Compiling Presence module on Solaris 9

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Peter,

glad that it works for you also - tour feedback use useful for tracking 
and fixing the problem. Thanks again.

the bug you submitted (regarding the grep params on Solaris) was already 
fixed on the devel version (hopefully :)), so just let me now if works now.

regarding the second issues (with the phplib_id) - I admit it might be 
some problems as lately there were some changes in the area (serweb 
stuff moved out) and more changes will come (use auto increment ids as 
primary keys)....could please upload a new bug with some description of 
the problem - for sure somebody will take a look on it.

Thanks again,
bogdan
