Chris,

I finally got iftop to work and it was by accident.  I was trying to install another piece of software on the same box that I was trying to install iftop.  The software specifically said that the program would not compile with gcc 3.1, and I need 2.95.  So I uninstalled gcc 3.1 and installed gcc 2.95.  I also set the library path to be LD_RUN_PATH=/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib.  

After making these changes, iftop compiled like a champ and now works on Solaris 9.  

Thanks again for all your help.

Tim Clashin
