Ok, I followed your advice and removed the soaris built gcc from sunfreeware and downloaded the source instead. How ever now I am getting this message when I try to compile gcc: # /usr/local/gcc-2.95.3/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnu Configuring for a sparc-sun-solaris2.8 host. Created "Makefile" in /usr/local/objdir using "mh-frag" /usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed *** The command '/usr/ucb/cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed. *** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler. How do I find out what package am I missing? Can someone point to a site with a good solaris 8 build of gcc I can use instead of sunfreeware. I really prefer not to spend time on debugging the Sun compiler. Unless of course it's just a simple addition of a package.
