That means you purchased Solaris WITHOUT the optional C Compiler.
It came with SunOS ... but at some point in the Solaris history,
they began shipping it as an extra cost option. About $1,000
worth of extra cost.
BTW, if and when you get it, the program development tools such
as "make" etc. are in /usr/ccs/bin.
If you need an inexpensive C compiler, Walnut Creek CDROM sells
the binaries for GCC on cd-rom for about $40. You can install
that, download the latest version of GCC from the Net, then
recompile and reinstall the latest.
Walnut Creek can be contacted at http://www.cdrom.com
This may qualify for a FAQ ... surely there are other places to
acquire/purchase GCC binaries for folks not so well-endowed with
money? Walnut Creek CDROM is the only place I know of, but there
surely ought to be others. I don't want to give them free
advertising at an unfair advantage to the other vendors.
