Stupid Installation problems

[Paul dot Hammond at company-i dot com]

Hi,

I'm trying to install gcc.2.95.3 & I'm getting the following problems (I
have little experience of install compilers or compiling code).

>From gcc-2.95.3-sol8-sparc-local.gz
 gunzip -d ##ok
 This gives me a file with the following header info:-

# PaCkAgE DaTaStReAm
SMCgcc 1 128563
# end of header

Is this a Solaris package src file?  I've tried the usual (pkgadd &
pkgtrans), bit I'm getting nowhere fast.  How do I install from this file?

>From gcc-core-2.95.3.tar.gz
 File extracted ok (rocket science I know...)
 When I try to configure, I get the following error message:-
# ./configure
Configuring for a sparc-sun-solaris2.8 host.
Created "Makefile" in /var/tmp/gcc-2.95.3 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.

I'm trying to install on a system with sol8-10/00 (+EOM), without any 3rd
party compilers installed.  I have set the path var to point to /usr/ucb &
have set the CC env.

I suspect these problems may be due to my inexperience in these matters.

   Thanks for any help,

                 Paul
