I have never installed a gnu  C compiler, but have installed a SUNWspro 3.0.1 C
compiler. Do I still need the binary distribution?

I navigated to the binaries section of the web site which took me to
http://www.sunfreeware.com/. I saw "gcc-3.0.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz".
Is this what I require?

Please let me know.

Thanks
Kabir
