Installing GCC on Solaris 10 Intel server

[Jim Furst]

To Whom It May Concern:

 

I have been having difficulty installing gcc compiler on this machine(Solaris 10 with x86 chip).  I tried installing gcc version 4.2.0 but the tar failed after I unzipped it.

 

These are the steps I took to try to install gcc.

 

1. FTP file to unix solaris 10 server
2. uncompress it

bunzip2 gcc-g++-4.2.0.tar.bz2

3. Untar’d it

tar  xvf  gcc-g++-4.2.0.tar

4. Error Received

…

x gcc-4.2.0/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/tr1/5_numerical_facilities/random/subtract_wi

th_carry_01/operators, 0 bytes, 0 tape blocks                                  

tar: directory checksum error                                                   

 

So I tried previous version 4.1.2 which successfully uncompressed and untar’d with no errors but when it came to compiling:

 

 

After uncompress and tar

 

1. cd gcc-g++-4.1.2/libstdc++-v3
2. ran the configure script

./configure                                                          

configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in . ./.. ./../..

 

I am not sure where to go from here.  Please help me.
