Bug 58145

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.1a)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          GCC 3.2.2 This Bug is in configure 
OS:          Solaris

I have been looking closely at the installation processes
made by  "gmake install"  on different KDE packages lately.

In  KDEBase-311a , while installing for  kcontrol/thememgr,

and  in  KDEartwork311  while installing for IconThemes and Themes :

For all these three installjobs  the configure process has chosen
/usr/bin/tar   to pack the themefiles into an archive.

However the flags given to the program is GnuTar flags. This ofcourse
is not a problem on Linux .  Still one wishes that
configure would look for  "gtar" if that is what it intends to use.
When you look for "tar"  on  UNIX  you will NOT find GnuTar as you do
on LINUX.  Tar and Gnutar does not have the same optionflags.

This is what happends on Solaris9 :
