[Sunhelp] gcc install problems

[Mike Gracy (Ghost Rider)]

Try this: pkgadd -d . /dirname/packagename
In the past I've found forcing it to look at a specific file works best.  It
is repetitive when you several packages in the same directory to be
installed, but it works.  Also, did you download this package with Netscape?
I've had Netscape mangle packages occasionally and I had to ftp them instead
to get them correctly.

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
