CC can not compile GCC

[Brian J. Burke]

Dean,
      1.  Solaris does not ship with a working compiler, so downloading the
gcc binaries was the right thing to do.

      2.  Where did you get the binaries from?  Did the instructions tell
you to install them in /usr?  Did you add the directory where the binary gcc
( etc....) exists to your path?  Can you type out the absolute path to gcc
and get it to work ( /usr/bin/gcc or whatever the path is)?

     Another point of importance, if when installing Solaris, you didn't
select the "Developer System Support" ( or higher) software catagory you
won't have "make" or any other native support for application development,
and these aren't part of the gcc package.
