solaris 9 gcc

[deadpoint]

gcc does not install with solaris, sun only includes a few gnu 
utilities, see /usr/sfw/bin and /usr/sfw/sbin. if you have the companion 
cd then gcc 2 and 3 are on it and they'll need to be installed.

sun includes samba and apache as part of solaris. samba is installed in 
/usr/sfw and apache is in /usr/apache if i'm not mistaken. if you did 
the full OEM install then they are their.

to make things easier don't compile from source on solaris. head out to 
http://www.sunfreeware.com and download the packages, or just install 
them from the companion cd.

you can setup your environment the nearly the same as you would on 
linux. modify /etc/profile to setup PATH, MANPATH, etc for global 
settings. solaris is a system V style unix so as i'm sure your more 
framiliar with linux/bsd style commands put /usr/ucb first in you path 
first. sun tends to put stuff all over the place so a good PATH to set 
would be:

PATH=/usr/ucb:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/sfw/sbin:/usr/ccs/bin
