Java? really?
Should have been a gzipped package. If it was java you may have a browser
configuration problem.  That site has complete instructions on how to 
download and install the package.  Depending upon how you have set up
your browser to handle .gz files you may or may not need to gunzip it.
The unzipped file needs to be in a temporary location. Then you need to
do something like "pkgadd -d" to install it.  Read the instructions for
exact details.

GCC 3.0.2 binaries

[kabir.patel]

I was making a mistake with my ftp (I was using ASCII mode ....)

The way I get the file now, is by saving it onto my NT machine and then ftp'ing
it onto

the Solaris machine. I can gzip fine, and also unzip the files. Is this ok?

I only see *.class files. What am I meant to run to get the C compiler working

after having unzipped the files? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Kabir

gzip stores a checksum for the compressed data ('crc' is 'cyclic
redundancy check') and the value it has is wrong. Again, this means you
have a bad copy of the compressed package.

May I check that you downloaded the file in binary mode and not ASCII
mode? If you're using command-line FTP then it probably defaulted to
binary mode but to be sure you might want to type 'binary' before you
'get'.

I know that's a long shot, but I at least don't have any other ideas.

Pretty much how it sounds - gzip expected more data but there wasn't
any.

Having a quick look on ftp.sunfreeware.com, the file size is supposed to
be 23,815,367 (uncompressed: 83,127,808). It looks like you don't have a
complete copy of the file and will have to redownload or attempt to
resume-download on the current file. I don't know how to resume
downloads with Solaris ftp.

What you have is a compressed Sun package file; it has to be installed
using Sun's 'pkgadd' command on the target Solaris machine. (I said
before that Sun packages were just .tars, but I was wrong - HP packages
are .tars but Sun packages are their own format.) You can use your
Windows machine to ungzip the package file but you can't extract any
more than that from Windows.

Using gzip, e.g.:

    gzip -d gcc-3.0.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz

You can usually pipe this into something, e.g. tar, but I don't know if
you can do this with Sun's package system.

However, you probably have already got an uncompressed copy (as Robert
suggests) - when you tried unzipping the file, it found a Java
(runtime?) .jar file embedded in the package (which is really a .tar
file) and uncompressed that instead. If your package was gzip
compressed, I think unzip would have failed.

How did you uncompress? I have tried uncompress, unzip and tar
and all have failed. The name of the file is "gcc-3.0.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz."

I am not where I can use a we browser at the moment and I do not have
access to a package file from that site. I am going from memory at the
moment.  I do not remember what you get after uncompressing.

You did say you wanted the binary correct?  Why are you looking for
any C file?

To check to see if this one file has a problem, go back to the freeware
site and download another different file.  
Then use the "file" command to see if it is compressed or not.
I once had a netscape which removed the ".gz" but left the file still
compressed so I had to add the ".gz" back onto it.

Then I could uncompress it.  After that I think I got a directory and I
just used the pkgadd -d ...

I should be very simple.

Pretty much how it sounds - gzip expected more data but there wasn't
any.

Having a quick look on ftp.sunfreeware.com, the file size is supposed to
be 23,815,367 (uncompressed: 83,127,808). It looks like you don't have a
complete copy of the file and will have to redownload or attempt to
resume-download on the current file. I don't know how to resume
downloads with Solaris ftp.

What you have is a compressed Sun package file; it has to be installed
using Sun's 'pkgadd' command on the target Solaris machine. (I said
before that Sun packages were just .tars, but I was wrong - HP packages
are .tars but Sun packages are their own format.) You can use your
Windows machine to ungzip the package file but you can't extract any
more than that from Windows.

I moved the file to another device and when I run gzip -d on it, it comes back
with an
' unexpected end of file ' message. What does this mean, and how can it be
resolved?

Thanks

I have since been trying to gzip the file, but keep on getting a "No space left

message. The size of the zippped file is 16351232 (when I do an ls -l). When I
run
df -k I have only  31053KB space availible on the device.
Is there a way for me to determine how much space is needed to run the gzip

Using gzip, e.g.:

    gzip -d gcc-3.0.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz

You can usually pipe this into something, e.g. tar, but I don't know if
you can do this with Sun's package system.

However, you probably have already got an uncompressed copy (as Robert
suggests) - when you tried unzipping the file, it found a Java
(runtime?) .jar file embedded in the package (which is really a .tar
file) and uncompressed that instead. If your package was gzip
compressed, I think unzip would have failed.

How did you uncompress? I have tried uncompress, unzip and tar
and all have failed. The name of the file is "gcc-3.0.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz."

I am not where I can use a we browser at the moment and I do not have
access to a package file from that site. I am going from memory at the
moment.  I do not remember what you get after uncompressing.

You did say you wanted the binary correct?  Why are you looking for
any C file?

To check to see if this one file has a problem, go back to the freeware
site and download another different file.  
Then use the "file" command to see if it is compressed or not.
I once had a netscape which removed the ".gz" but left the file still
compressed so I had to add the ".gz" back onto it.

Then I could uncompress it.  After that I think I got a directory and I
just used the pkgadd -d ...

I should be very simple.

Java? really?
Should have been a gzipped package. If it was java you may have a browser
configuration problem.  That site has complete instructions on how to
download and install the package.  Depending upon how you have set up
your browser to handle .gz files you may or may not need to gunzip it.
The unzipped file needs to be in a temporary location. Then you need to
do something like "pkgadd -d" to install it.  Read the instructions for
exact details.

GCC 3.0.2 binaries

[kabir.patel]

Could somebody tell me *exactly* where the binary files for GCC 3.0.2 are?
I followed the binaries link on www.sunfreeware.com, navigated to Solaris 8
and then downloaded gcc-3.0.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz. This turned out to be
some java stuff (I want C).

Please can somebody help

Thanks
