need help with installation

[Anderson, James H [IT]]

I seem to remember that there was an older version that could bootstrap
itself. (The binary distribution is a fairly recent addition.)

Really don't know what to say.
The easiest answer - if you don't have admin privileges, ask your
sysadmin 
to install the latest GCC binary package...

If you find an older version that still uses the Solaris packagin
system, 
you'd still be stuck, wouldn't you ?
