I did a ls *gcc* on the package directory of the CD I mentioned, and it showed SUNWgcc, so I installed that. It did seem to install it, but it's not in the path. Is that normal? Or should I give up and go to <a href="http://sunfreeware.com">sunfreeware.com</a>? By the way, the makefile I'm using from the iozone tar file lists numerous platforms including several for Solaris (32- & 64-bit, Solaris 8, 9, 10, cc, gcc...) so I thought it should work with whatever compiler is available for Solaris.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">At work here I have a "SunOS cowsvpsunfire 5.10 Generic_142909-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V490" (from uname -a) with the "sol_10_910_sparc" disc mounted. This system appears to have no "cc" or "gcc" (according to "which"). Which package(s) from the CD do I need to install to have a basic C command-line compiler available? I'm trying to compile Iozone (<a href="http://iozone.org" target="_blank">iozone.org</a>), and the makefile run says "sh: cc: not found". <u></u><u></u></p>
