I typed make at first. Do I have to install it > separately? The "make" program is not part of gcc. You do have to have the make program installed in order to build gcc or to use a Makefile. If you don't have a make program, you should install it. I'm sure that Solaris provides a make program, though perhaps it is not installed by default. It may be installed in /usr/ccs/bin/make on Solaris, so check that /usr/ccs/bin is on your PATH. Ian
