Help : samba and Solaris

[Sean Elble]

Based upon the message that you received, it's safe to say that you:

a) Don't have a c compiler installed on your system, which is required to
compile Samba
b) Don't have your c compiler listed in your path.

To determine which one of these is the case, bring up a console while logged
on as root, or just telnet/SSH in as root, and run the following command:
find / -name *cc

If you get any results back that are either "cc" or "gcc", then write down
their exact locations on your hard drive, and add the directory to your
path.

If you don't get any results back that are either "cc" or "gcc", then you
must obtain a C compiler. Sun used to charge for theirs, and they probably
still do. You can obtain gcc for free at http://gcc.gnu.org/, but I've never
installed it on Solaris. It should just be a matter of finding a copy of gcc
packaged for Sun systems. Sun may have a copy available at their site, but
I'm too lazy (too tired?), to check. HTH.
