Are you sure you have a compiler installed on your SGI? Try this;

run the command: swmgr
click on "Manage Installed Software"
Try to see if you have the following subsystems;

Development System
C Headers and Libraries
C++ Headers and Libraries
IRIX Development Headers/Documentation
X11 Development Environment

If you do not have a compiler, you should try to obtain a precompiled
version...
