Cc: gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org, gnu@gnu.org, steve@smc.vnet.net X-Sun-Charset: ISO-8859-1 X-SW-Source: 2004-10/txt/msg00090.txt.bz2 The gcc-3.3.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz file is from my sunfreeare.com site. I am happy to answer any questions you might have about those files. You have already received some good advice. There are a number of possible ways to get a valid file you can gunzip and install. 1. When you download a file and cannot gunzip the file, look at the File Sizes and MD5 Checksums links at the left on the sunfreeware.com web site. Check to make sure that the file size of gcc-3.3.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz say is correct and if you have md5 installed on your system, run md5 gcc-3.3.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz to make sure you have a valid file also. Once, you have a valid file gunzip should work fine. This file has been downloaded more than 100,000 times and so I know it works. 2. If you do not get the correct size, try another download and check it again. If you still get the wrong size or checksum, run file gcc-3.3.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz and see if it says gcc-3.3.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz: gzip compressed data - deflate method , original file name This proves your file has not been gunzipped by your browser. If it say something else, it is possible the file has been gunzipped but the .gz has not been removed. You might just try mv gcc-3.3.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz gcc-3.3.2-sol8-sparc-local and then run pkgadd -d gcc-3.3.2-sol8-sparc-local as root to do the installation. 3. If you continue to get an invalid download, you might try to do a regular anonymous ftp to ftp.sunfreeware.com then, set binary mode, and do cd pub/freeware/sparc/8 Then get gcc-3.3.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz and check the file size. Note that gcc-3.3.2-sol8-sparc-local.gz is a large file and sometimes your ftp session will time out before you get the whole file or you may not have enough space in your download directory. There are other programs that you might need to install gcc and use it properly on your system. I am happy to guide you in making this happen.
