It's good practice to check the signature (that's what gpg --verify does), but probably no big deal in this case. > Also if I ever run && on my node it just returns a prompt like this Then you're probably using a C-shell. Either run a bourne shell (bash or zsh) or as a last resort, replace each "&&" by ";", as you did -- but note: that changes semantics. > I don't know if it is relevant for solaris or if it's a linux thing, > or maybe again I just don't have a certain package installed? > > gzip -dc coreutils-8.7.tar.gz | tar xf - && > > (cd coreutils-8.7 && ./configure && make && make -k check ) >& log > I ran ./configure; make; make -k check > log > > Nothing was written to the log file but config.log file was written > and is attached to this email.

As it implies, you need to install a C compiler first. I suggest you get gcc.
