I'm trying to configure/install gcc so I can later
install Apache. When running configure, I
originally received the error "you must set the
environment variable CC to a working compiler".
After research on this forum I set the environment
variable CC=gcc, and am now receiving the same
error.
I now understand that to install gcc, you need a
"base" compiler, which this system does not have.
I'm running Solaris 2.5.
Can someone tell me exactly what I need to install
and where I can get it?
Thanks.

You need to have a c compiler to compile gcc. There are prebuilt
versions of gcc available. I don't recall off hand where to get one,
but you can probably find pointers at www.gnu.org. You should be able
to find a prebuilt version in the pkg format for solaris.

You can't compile a program without a compiler--even if the program you
want to compile is itself a compiler! :)

The FSF sells CD's with fully-built versions of GNU programs. It's one
