OS: Solaris 8
CPU/Ram: SPARC
Comment:

I downloaded "gcc-2.95.3-sol8-sparc-local" to /usr/local. Then I did

pkgadd -d gcc-2.95.3-sol8-sparc-local
setenv PATH /usr/local/bin
gcc -o test.o test.c

I got error message --" gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No
such file or directory".

Would you help tell me what is wrong? Thank you very much.

I use Ultra 5 with Solaris 8.

You should have added /usr/local/bin to your existing PATH variable.

setenv PATH $PATH:/usr/local/bin

Try modifying your login profile then starting another login session.

David, Thank you.

I did:
auto20# setenv PATH $PATH:/usr/local/bin

But I got error message: "Variable syntax".

I'm sorry. I never work with csh. I gave you the incorrect syntax for PATH. Try this

set path=(/bin /usr/bin /usr/ucb /etc /usr/local/bin .)

or

set path = ($path /usr/local/bin)

I tried
"set path = ($path /usr/local/bin)"

The problem still exists:
"
auto20# gcc -o test.o test.c
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory
auto20#
"

Anyone can help? Thanks.

as is the assembler, and the message indicates that it cannot be found. I don't have a Solaris box to refer to, but I'm thinking it is located in /usr/ucb.

I believe it is in the SUNWsprot package, so make sure it is installed, and verify it is in your path.
