Hello Frist of all (Sorry for my english) i live in sweden and can't spell words very well well this problem has been Great problem for many guys i know and some of the guys on the net the thing is that nn some versions of Solaris, there is a cc executable in the user's path, but all it does is display an error message and fail anyway try to do like this and se if it will works env CC=gcc ../configure

Balron, Thanks for your advice. I try your option, but it's still not working. Here is what I did. I'm in /tcl/tcl8.3.3/unix directory. #env CC=gcc ../configure and my error message: env: No such file or directory.

As Balron pointed out /usr/ucb/cc is just a wrapper with an error message in the default installation. You still need to install a compiler. Go to www.sunfreeware.com and grab the latest gcc. After that is installed be sure to add /usr/local/bin to your path before /usr/ucb.

Try; CC=gcc export CC

Hi, Ajay. Did anyone ever get back to you on a solution to this? I'm running into the same problem on multiple softwares. Thanks. cc -c -I../src -I../gd1.3 -xO3 -xdepend -DVERSION=\"1.000331\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.000331\" -KPIC -I/usr/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/CORE -DPERLPATCHLEVEL=5 RRDs.c /usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `RRDs.o'

hello I'm having the same problem. /usr/ucb/cc: language optional software... but I can't solve it by any of the ways shown above cause gcc tells me: unrecognized option '-KPIC' what can I do? where can I find a version of cc or gcc that accepts that option? thanks.
