My issue here is that it is on the "Prerequisites" page as a clearly needed piece and not merely optional. It should be marked as an optional piece and not a "Prerequisite". > > Wondering if isl 0.15 is really ready to go or should I use a > > previous > > version or can I remove the isl bits entirely ? > > You don't need ISL to build GCC and can remove it entirely. Will do. I have never seen the cloog or isl bit compile on Solaris. Ever. Once. In years. Ever. So it was very frustrating to see the ISL bits as a "required" and "needed" piece. No worries .. I'll give it a try without ISL and then try again later with bits from ./contrib/download_prerequisites as you suggest. Dennis
