You don't really mention any specific messages about which commands aren't found so I can only guess at a cause but it seems likely that you haven't installed a compiler and associated files in order to actually build software. pfexec pkg install gcc-dev Is what I'd start with. If you'd rather use the SunStudio compiler, you can get that with pfexec pkg install sunstudioexpress Cheers, -- Glenn
