Gcc 3.3 = C/C++ compiler (independent of any OS) SunOS 5.6 = Sun's version of the Unix OS Solaris 2.6 = Sun's computing environment (SunOS + windowing system + anything else needed to make a complete system) So no, they are not the same thing. You can either compile gcc for a Solaris 2.6 system, or there is probably one already compiled somewhere (check sunfreeware.com, don't know if they would have gcc3.3 compiled for Solaris 2.6).
