Help me, please!

I go page by page on the installation manuals fro Oracle... The only thing I can not find (actually I have no clue on this!) is where is the c compiler and what does it mean by:

C compiler directory
and
---Start quote---

To take advantage of Sun machine architechture, Oracle8 Server code is compiled with the cc option -xcg92 provided in the Sun SPARCompiler C 4.2

If any files in an application are compiled using the -xcg92 flag, the symbol _cg92_ used needs to be resolved at link time. Therefor, any time a program or application is linked with the Oracle8 Server, one of the following must be done to resolve the symbol _cg92_ used:

-If /opt/ <<not applicable to me>>>
-If /usr/ccs/bin/ld is used to link, you must include the object file
$ORACLE_HOME/lib/_fstd.o in the link line. This file is shipped with the permission of Sun Micro . . .
---end quote ----

Link line?
include the object file?

Well, then when I do the install - here is the last entry in the log file...

(( OIERR-SYSTEM: make -f ins_rdbms.mk
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.3 install ))
--------------[ rdbms.ins 2135 ]---------------------------------------
