Hi ,

I have instaled Solaris-11-express on my VM, using live and text iso.
I could see gcc package in package manager, but i am not able to install it.
I manually downloaded gcc tar file still not able to install.
in sunfreeware.com i even searched for binaries of gcc.
please help me in installing GCC.

what is the error that you get while installing GCC ?

Error is like, its not able to connect to Package Search,
But the same can be reached through any browser.
And I have set the terminal proxy properly.

try this as it might be something simple.
upon installing Solaris 11, root pasword is to be updated as it is aged.
You will not see any warning on updated mgr or any other admin GUI tools from System menu.
launch a term update root pswd then do what u need to do.
It worked for me for something similar and solved many other glitches.

cheers

John

Switch to root: su - root
Install GCC: pkg install gcc-3
