Solaris doesn't come with a working C compiler as far as GCC is concerned
unless you have the Sun Workshop or Forte compilers as well.  You will
probably find it most easily by `man CC` (looking for the C++ compiler.)
The find command will tell you where these are on your system.

To get a working C compiler you can look at http://www.sunfreeware.com/

You should have make
make: /usr/ccs/bin/make 

but you will need GNU make anyway.  You don't need a make to build GNU
make.

It sounds like not enough places are on your PATH.
