Thanks Apostolos, Sadly I'm still getting the same error that 'cc' is not found. Detected operating system: SunOS Detected host architecture: i386 Checking for host cc ... cc Checking for cross compilation ... yes ./configure[1640]: cc: not found ./configure[1645]: cc: not found ./configure[1673]: cc: not found ./configure[1685]: ./cpuinfo: not found ./configure[1686]: ./cpuinfo: not found ./configure[1687]: ./cpuinfo: not found ./configure[1688]: ./cpuinfo: not found ./configure[1689]: ./cpuinfo: not found ./configure[1691]: ./cpuinfo: not found Checking for CPU vendor ...

CPU not recognized or your compiler is too old. error Checking for byte order ... failed to autodetect byte order, defaulting to little-endian Checking for extern symbol prefix ... Error: Symbol mangling check failed. I'm at a loss as to why I can not force the configure file to detect gcc. Cheers, Brooks L.
