I assume that you are referring to GCC for AIX and that you
downloaded the pre-built installp images from http://www-frec.bull.com/ .
gcc-2.8.1 has not been distributed by the Bull website for a long time, so
I am surprised that you are trying to us it. You do not mention which
release of AIX you are using, but I assume it is AIX 4.1 from the error
you received.
GCC requires the system header files and libraries in order to
operate. The errors you received from installp refer to some base AIX
filesets which are not installed on your system and need to be installed
before you can install GCC. You can install those filesets from the AIX
installation CDs; you do not need a compiler license in order to install
and use the header files and libraries.
Additionally, I would suggest that you use gcc-2.95.2 (or
egcs-1.1.2 if you cannot find a distribution of gcc-2.95 for AIX 4.1)
instead of gcc-2.8.1 which did not support AIX very well.
