If you can't find an epkg binary compiled with all of the extra
libraries for your platform, you can use this Makefile (which will
probably require a little bit of editing for platforms other than
Solaris/x86 10) to compile it.

You'll need to manually download the versions of packages you want to
this directory, edit the Makefile to refer to those versions,
decompress/untar the distributions, and then run make (or gmake on
non-GNU platforms)

All of the software is available from http://www.dclark.us/mirror (or
Google for it).

Once you have a working epkg distribution, you should:
  * cd /usr/local/encap
  * mkencap -c epkg-x.y.z
  * Rename the tar.gz file with the appropriate encap string
    (i.e. mv epkg-x.y.z.tar.gz epkg-x.y.z-encap-i386-solaris10.tar.gz)
  * Upload that file to the encap repository at:
    http://www.encap.org/search/upload.fcgi
  * Update the ticket at http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/bcfg2/ticket/74   
    with a quick note stating you've done the encap upload so it can be 
    mirrored at http://www.dclark.us/mirror/epkg-contrib
