Ah, but it was correct before you altered its meaning.  What
the error message appears to say is that `jmp_buf' is not defined on
your system.  jmp_buf is defined on Solaris 2.7 in
/usr/include/setjmp.h, which should be included.

Do you have png installed?  I've run this assuming not and got similar
error messages. Solve them by adding

#include <setjmp.h>

at line 234 of rbitmap.c.  The png stuff includes setjmp.h.
