I forgot to follow up to say that I disabled places by default for
Solaris, after all. The problem is that using gcc with the Sun linker
(a common configuration, I think) doesn't work right, and so it seems
better to only try if `--enable-places' is specified for `configure'.

Yes, or you could download source + pre-built libraries from one of the
Racket snapshot pages:
