Open Source Hex Editors For Solaris?

An 0xAnonymous 0xCoward asks: "I just wasted a whole day looking for a good hex editor for Solaris. I finally had to give up in frustration and disbelief. I found several hex editors, sure, some of which were even decent, but none of them had the -one- feature I was looking for: when I highlight the hex, the corresponding ASCII should be highlighted at the same time and vice versa. The only one that came close to providing this was khexedit, which looks excellent, but which I couldn't get to work on Solaris because it requires the [Qt] library and god-knows-what-else from [KDE]. Anyway, I finally had to resort to using a hex editor in Windows, all of which seem to have this feature. This seems like such essential geek tool...it must exist somewhere!"

Emacs has a hexl mode that will do hex very well. I use it from time to time.
