Dear Sir/Ms:
Could you please help me on this problem? I am currently using Solaris
2.7 on SUN Sparc 5 and I do not have any C compilers pre-installed. I
want to install the GCC on my system but failed. The details is as
follows:
I got a big file named "gcc-2.8.1-sol7-sparc-local" after using the gzip
to
unzip the file "gcc-2.8.1-sol7-sparc-local.gz" which I downloaded from
sunfreeware.com. I can not use "tar" to extract files from it, nor can I
excute it. I was expecting some excutable files been added to my file
system as it said the downloaded file includes pre-compiled GCC. Is
there anything wrong? How could I make use of this
file(gcc-2.8.1-sol7-sparc-local) to get the GNU C compiler?
I would greatly appreciate it if you could reply.
My email address is: liufeng@tp.edu.sg
Thanks in advance.
With my best regards,
Liu Feng,Edward
