You have to make sure that TZDIR in tzfile.h is pointed at a directory that
actually contains your zoneinfo files. You can either configure it to use
the system zoneinfo files, if they exist and you trust them to be reasonably
up-to-date, or you can compile the current tzdata files and point TZDIR at
the directory where you installed them.
If this isn't the problem you're running into, let me know...
I've tested the code on Solaris and FreeBSD.
