hi im trying to install gcc on solaris 8 and here is where im having trouble. i got gcc-3.3-sol8-intel-local.gz file from www.sunfreeware.com via ftp and tried to unzip it but it gave me an error exactly looks like this : " gunzip: gcc-3.3-sol8-intel-local.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated ".
what i did was "gunzip gcc-3.3-sol8-intel-local.gz" and it waited like 10-20secs then the error appeared on the screen. I downloaded the file again in case that something was wrong during downloading but after several tries with new files from different ftp servers, same error appeared. Can anyone tell me what is wrong ? thanks.

Hi!
Try with # gunzip gcc-3.3-sol8-intel-local.gz | tar xvf - and must work (minus sign is important)
afterthat
# pkg_add -d gcc-3.3-sol8-intel-local.pkg I dont know if you must add /usr/local/bin to path. But u must repalce link /usr/ucb/[bin/]cc (point to new gcc)
