[Sunhelp] gcc install problems

[Kalusniak, Jeff]

If your syntax below is NOT a typo, you're entering:

pkgadd -d . /dirname

Should be:  pkgadd -d ./dirname  (notice the space taken out between the
period and slash)

You may also try:
1. Download the binary install (non-pkgadd version from sunfreeware.com)
2. Install it
3. Download the source code
4. configure, bootstrap and install

Subject: [Sunhelp] gcc install problems


Morning all,

I'm setting up an Ultra 1, running Solaris 7.  I downloaded gcc compiler
version 2.95.2 last night from sunfreeware.com.  I unzipped the file and
tried to install it with pkgadd, but it wouldn't work.  I pg'd the unzipped
file and it appears to be a package datastream.

I believe I had the syntax correct:  pkgadd -d . /dirname
yet, pkgadd didn't detect any packages.  I've had trouble with this before,
but eventually found a way to install this.   This time, I'm stuck.  Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jake
