Sorry if this is a novice question, but I'm newish to my Solaris.
I have a Sun Sparc5 Solaris 2.5. When I type cc I get "language optional
software not installed". When I type make filename I get "make command not
found". How do I get the make command to work (I have Makefile files in the
directories I'm trying to run make)?

to newsgroups. Thanks in advance for any advice.

The C compiler that come with Solaris is no longer free. You can either purchase
a license from Sun to use their so-so compiler of go out and pull down the GNU C
compiler (gcc).

The make command is not "language optional software". It should work on your C
files without any trouble after you get a compiler.

cc does not come with Solaris 2.5 You have to buy the software
and install it. You could download gcc instead.

make is in the /usr/ccs/bin directory.
Give the full pathname when running it.

Unfortunately, Sun Microsystems no longer includes a c compiler
as a part of their operating system, to resolve your dilemma, you must either
send Sun some money for a compiler, or resort to the Gnu compiler.

I have installed Answerbook on a Netra (Solaris 2.5) when I type answerbook
it attempts to load it but I get an error message saying ab_admin fatal
error.
ld.so.1 cant open libC.so.3 which apprently I dont have. Any ideas?
Do I need to download libC.so.3 from somewhere or am I overlooking
something.

You need to install it. Get SUNWlibCf from your 2.x CD.

/usr/lib/libC.so.3 is in package SUNWlibCf
system SUNWlibCf SPARCompilers Bundled libC (cfront version)

If you installed Solaris with anything less than the SUNWCprog cluster,
then you won't have libC.so.*

Install the package SUNWlibC from your 2.5 cd.
