Help,
Never having installed gcc on a Sun box. How do I interpret the following message? What needs to be done to configure. Thanks for your help.

Configuring for a sparc-sun-solaris2.8 host.
Created "Makefile" in /u01/gccobj using "mh-frag"

Go to www.sunfreeware.com .
GCC is written in C (mostly), therefor you need a C compiler to build
it from source. Either install the solaris language optional
package (which I recall having high per-seat licensing costs), or
get a pre-compiled gcc binary. I believe www.sunfreeware.com still
distributes pre-compiled gcc binaries for solaris. The FSF and
gcc.gnu.org do not distribute pre-compiled binaries for any
platform, but they do have a list of links to other sites that do;
see gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html .

In order to install GCC from sources, you need to have a compiler
installed on your system (in order to build GCC). You either don't have
one, or it is not in your path before /usr/ucb, so the configure script
is not finding it.
Thanks,
Lyle
