Hi, seems that you are missing a C compiler. For installing GCC you need a working C compiler on your system since GCC is distributed as source code and not as binary package. Probably you didn't install the software development support on your Solaris machine. Check this with your sysadmin or look into manuals and install a C compiler native to Solaris.
