- Subject: Installing GCC on a server with no compiler
I hope someone can help. I've got two servers that I need to install some
software on. For whatever reason, when we received the servers the vendor
chose not to put a C compiler on them (this was several years ago so we no
longer have a contract with this vendor). I'm trying to install GCC but all
of the directions that I've been through assume a native compiler to compile
the source and I error out while the install is looking for a compiler.
This might sound dumb because I'm new to Unix but does anyone know how to
install a C compiler on a system with no pre-existing compiler? I tried
downloading the binaries from aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu but didn't have much
luck there either because the readme file they talk about in their download
directions doesn't exist in the tar I downloaded.
Both servers run AIX, one is version 4.3.3, the other is 4.1.4. I'm trying
to install GCC v 3.2.1.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Dan
