Ok, I know I’ve blogged this before, but this is about doing it via the command line:
I installed everything as root…
# pkg install SUNWgcc
Simple as that!
Some other packages people might like:
# pkg install SUNWgmake
# pkg install SUNWsvn
These have all come in handy whilst setting up my new server.
So, I had ordered the parts and the parts had arrived. I was very good, although everything was with me by last Tuesday, I refrained from building them up until Friday.
So this is my new case:
OK, so it’s old new now, but just wanted to let you all know that it’s out!

I only spent one and a half days in work this week! Monday was spent doing some work, while Tuesday morning was spent tying up loose ends and passing other people ongoing work.

If anyone attended that lecture and is reading this, please feel free email me any questions you might have about OpenSolaris. If I can’t answer them, I can find an answer 
I’m just updating packages on my OpenSolaris installation, and I glanced at the screen only to find a package called “SUNWlibsexy” sitting bang in the middle of the update screen. After a quick Google, I found this:

License: Other
Group: System/Libraries
Version: 0.1.11
Summary: libsexy is a collection of GTK+ widgets that extend the functionality of such standard widget.

If you have tried to ./configure any sources, you will find that you can’t, because the gcc isn’t in your PATH.
To get gcc on your PATH, do the following:
