gcc compiler 2.95.1

gcc compiler 2.95.1

[Grace P. Huynh]

Hi again,

After install gcc 2.95.1 on Solaris 8, I can't run the compiler 
as a regular user.  All I did to install was tar a tape(which left
to us from a previous employee) to /usr. This what's it says 
when I run as a regular user:
	
	gcc: install problem, cannot exe 'a': permission denied.

However, there is work around it.  I have to be superuser and
running in csh shell then it's OK.

Question:  How to solve this problem?  How to run gcc as a regular user?

Thanks in advance

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well unless you know what your former employee left you, and
unless you know exactly what you are doing, this is probably
not a good place to start from.

You are probably better off getting a precompiled package
of gcc for Solaris at: http://www.sunfreeware.com/ .
